The perlage is pleasantly fine and refined. Dynamic bordering on exuberance in forming the crown. The color is the regal antique rose gold, delicate and extremely elegant. The scent is broad and is characterized by fragrant notes of Mediterranean white flowers that harmonize with hints of well-ripe citrus fruits. The predominant bouquet is characterized by a rare encounter between fresh and intense notes of yellow fruit, nectarine and litchi, and generous accents of red berry, pomegranate and pink elderberry. Delicate accords of white chocolate, cocoa, almond and marzipan pleasantly surprise. Flavor perfectly matching the nose. Subtly silky, enveloping and long. Its extremely fine structure is a delicate weave that lasts over time. A texture that underlies a unique lightness. Its persistence is long. A sip symbolizing freshness.

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 BUSINESS FOUNDED ON A FEW HECTARES OF FAMILY OWNED INTO A COMPANY. THEY ARE LOCATED ON THE BELLAVISTA HILL, SO NAMED FOR THE SPLENDID POSITION WHICH, FROM A SINGLE POINT, EMBRACES LAKE ISEO AND THE ENTIRE PADANA PLAIN UP TO THE ALPS CHAIN. WITH FORESIGHT, VITTORIO MORETTI DEVOTES PARTICULAR ATTENTION TO THE PURCHASE OF NEW VINEYARDS UP TO THE CURRENT 203 HECTARES OF VINEYARDS, INCLUDING THE “FRANCIACORTA” VOCATION AREA. IN 1981 VITTORIO MORETTI MET THE OENOLOGIST MATTIA VEZZOLA WHO JOINED THE COMPANY IN THE SAME YEAR. HIS ROLE WILL BE DETERMINANT IN THE DEFINITION OF BELLAVISTA'S STYLE. IN 2007, MATTIA VEZZOLA WAS AWARDED THE IMPORTANT CAREER RECOGNITION BY THE GAMBERO ROSSO-SLOW FOOD WINE GUIDE AS "WINE MAKER OF THE YEAR". RESPECT FOR TRADITIONS TAKES PLACE IN THE RECOVERY OF A UNIQUE GESTURE, RECOGNIZED IN THE WORLD AS A RARE EXPRESSION OF FINENESS, BALANCE AND ELEGANCE. THE USE OF TRADITIONAL PRESSES GUARANTEES DELICATE PRESSING OF THE GRAPES AND A PARTICULAR FRACTIONATION OF THE MUST. IN SPRING, WHEN THE CUVÉES ARE CREATED, BELLAVISTA HAS AN AVERAGE OF NINETY SELECTIONS, PART OF WHICH FERMENTED IN SMALL OAK BARRELS. EXCELLENCE IS A DAILY OBJECTIVE THAT BELLAVISTA PURSUES THROUGH THE APPLICATION OF PRECISE PARAMETERS. FROM THE VINEYARD TO THE WINE, EVERYTHING IS ENTRUSTED TO NATURAL PROCESSING. EVERY CHOICE IS MADE WITHIN THE CONSTRAINT IMPOSED BY THE RHYTHMS OF NATURE AND THE HISTORY OF THE FRANCIACORTA TERRITORY.
