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.
