Bellavista Winery.
In'the year 1977, entrepreneur Vittorio Moretti decided to turn a small wine business founded on a few hectares of family property into a company . They are located on the Bellavista hill, so named for the splendid position that, from a single point, embraces Lake Iseo and the entire Po Valley up to the chain of the Alps. With foresight, Vittorio Moretti devotes special attention to the purchase of new vineyards until he reaches the current 203 hectares under vine, included in the "franciacorta" vocation zone.
From the vineyard to the wine, everything is entrusted to natural processes. Every choice is made within the constraint imposed by the rhythms of nature and the history of the Franciacorta territory.
Bellavista offers a timeless class and style identifiable in simplicity and artisanal attention to detail.
In 1981 Vittorio Moretti met the'oenologist Mattia Vezzola, who joined the'company in the same year. His role will be instrumental in defining Bellavista's style. In 2007 Mattia Vezzola was awarded the important career recognition by the Gambero Rosso-Slow Food's guide Vini d'Italia-as "winemaker of the year."
