A lively and persistent mousse preludes a complex bouquet with elderflower and tropical fruit notes enhanced by flint, incense and Mediterranean herbs. Elegant and textured with beautiful balance. Since 2004 Bellavista has been the “wine of honour” at Milan's Teatro alla Scala and, above all, a partner that supports its great history.
The grapes undergo a slow and soft mechanical pressing in Coquard presses followed by decanting at cool temperatures. Fermentation using inoculated yeasts in stainless steel at between 15°C and 18°C and partly in barrel between 23°C and 28°C (around 32%) then matured for 6/7 months. The assemblage is created followed by vinification using the traditional method with second fermentation in the bottle, left on lees for around 18 to 24 months.
The Bellavista winery, meaning beautiful view, was founded in 1977 in Erbusco by the Moretti family. Extending over 207 hectares of land, the Bellavista winery produces 1,500,000 bottles a year, according to organic viticulture principles. Franciacorta's unique terroir, nestled between the pre-Alps and Lake Iseo, benefits from glacial soils and a mild, breezy climate ideal for grape growing. Vittorio Moretti, in a pioneering way, was the first to invest in other types of activities in the Franciacorta area with the aim of realizing his dream of owning a French-style Château. Today his wine resort hosts many events such as weddings, culinary experiences and corporate hospitality. Bellavista still maintains a large part of tradition in the production chain with vineyards scattered throughout Franciacorta.
