Cellar
Bellavista Winery.
In'1977, entrepreneur Vittorio Moretti decided to turn a small wine business founded on a few hectares of family-owned land into a company. They are located on the Bellavista hill, so called because of its splendid position that, from a single point, embraces Lake Iseo and the entire Po Valley as far as the Alps. With far-sightedness, Vittorio Moretti devoted special attention to the purchase of new vineyards, until he reached 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 terroir.
Bellavista proposes a timeless class and style identifiable in simplicity and artisanal attention to detail.
In 1981 Vittorio Moretti met oenologist Mattia Vezzola, who joined the company in the same year. His role will be decisive 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 "oenologist of the year".

Extremely rare, it is the result of a dedicated cuvée, produced with only chardonnay grapes from at least 30 different high hillside and south-facing vineyards.
Organoleptic characteristics:
Straw yellow in colour, turning golden as time passes.
The nose offers hints of honey, pastries, vanilla berries, candied citrus fruits and flowers.
The sip is full and enveloping, creamy, soft, balanced in its sweet freshness.
Storage time:
2-3 years
