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."
Description
Franciacorta DOCG Extra Brut Pas Operé 2016 di Bellavista è un cuvée che simboleggia purezza, energia, freschezza e trasformazione, come le nubi che incantano al loro passaggio.
Il Pas Operé, blend da chardonnay e pinot nero, è frutto di una rigorosa selezione di vigna, tanto che proviene solo dagli appezzamenti storici con età superiore ai 30 anni ed esposizione prevalente a sud est. La scelta di ben 40 selezioni vendemmiali mira alla definizione di un’espressione essenziale, raffinata ed elegante, senza compromessi. Una cuvée, si capisce, pensata per durare ed evolvere nel tempo, immediatamente espressiva quanto longeva.
Organoleptic characteristics:
Straw yellow tending to bright gold, persistent and elegant perlage.
The nose offers hints of yellow fruit, citrus fruit marmalade and verbena, bread crust and light mineral sensations.
On the palate it is balanced, sapid, with personality and refined, elegant and lively freshness.
