This cuvée symbolizes purity, energy, freshness and transformation, like the clouds that enchant as they pass. The Pas Operé, blend fromchardonnay Andpinot noir, is the result of a rigorous selection of vines, so much so that it comes only from historical plots older than 30 years and prevalent exposure to the south east. The choice of 40 harvest selections aims at defining an essential, refined and elegant expression, without compromise. A cuvée, of course, designed to last and evolve over time, as immediately expressive as it is long-lived. An exuberant white foam is accompanied by apérlage of incomparable persistence and finesse, while the aromas are immediately complex, even in their essentiality.

Bellavista winery
IT WAS BORN IN FRANCIACORTA IN 1977 BY THE WILL OF THE ENTREPRENEUR VITTORIO MORETTI WHO DECIDED IN THAT YEAR TO TRANSFORM A SMALL WINE-GROWING BUSINESS BASED ON SOME HECTARES OF FAMILY PROPERTY INTO A COMPANY. THEY ARE LOCATED ON THE BELLAVISTA HILL, SO NAMED FOR THE BEAUTIFUL POSITION THAT, FROM A SINGLE POINT, EMBRACES LAKE ISEO AND THE ENTIRE PADANA PLAIN UP TO THE CHAIN OF THE ALPS. WITH LONGMIRANCE, VITTORIO MORETTI DEDES PARTICULAR ATTENTION TO THE PURCHASE OF NEW VINEYARDS UP TO THE CURRENT 203 HECTARES OF VINES, INCLUDED IN THE VOCATION AREA OF THE FRANCIACORTA. IN 1981 VITTORIO MORETTI MEETS THE OENOLOGIST MATTIA VEZZOLA WHO BECOMES PART OF THE COMPANY IN THE SAME YEAR. HIS ROLE WILL BE DETERMINING FOR THE DEFINITION OF THE BELLAVISTA STYLE. IN 2007 MATTIA VEZZOLA WAS AWARDED IMPORTANT CAREER RECOGNITION BY THE GUIDE VINI D'ITALIA DEL GAMBERO ROSSO-SLOW FOOD - AS "ENOLOGIST OF THE YEAR".
