Surprising Personality and Character, Grace and Lightness: The Unique Style of Franciacorta

It was born in Franciacorta in 1977 by the will of the entrepreneur Vittorio Moretti, who decided that year to transform a small wine business founded on a few hectares owned by the family 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 Alps. With foresight, Vittorio Moretti pays particular attention to the purchase of new vineyards up to the current 203 hectares of vineyards, included in the area of vocation of the "Franciacorta".

Live The Bellavista Experience

In 1981 Vittorio Moretti met the oenologist Mattia Vezzola who joined the company in the same year. His role will be decisive for the definition of Bellavista's style. In 2007, Mattia Vezzola was awarded the important career recognition by the guide Vini d’Italia del Gambero Rosso - Slow Food - as "Winemaker of the year".

Respect

Respect for traditions is realized in the recovery of a unique gesture, recognized in the world as a rare expression of finesse, balance and elegance. The use of traditional presses guarantees a delicate pressing of the grapes and a particular fractionation of the musts.

In spring, when the cuvées are created, Bellavista has an average heritage of ninety selections, some of which fermented in small oak barrels. Excellence is a daily goal that bellavista pursues through the application of the following parameters.

Vineyard - Naturalness

From the vineyard to the wine, everything is entrusted to natural processes. Each choice is made within the constraint imposed by the rhythms of nature and the history of the Franciacorta area.

Thought - Qualitative Constancy

Every action and every thought is aimed at maintaining the typological quality, recognized in every vintage, in every bottle and in every glass.

Class - Typological Recognition

Bellavista offers a timeless class and style identifiable in simplicity and craftsmanship attention to detail.

The Franciacorta

203 hectares located in ten municipalities of Franciacorta. For a total of 107 plots of land that are equivalent to one hundred and seven vineyards, studied, loved and recognized by name. Together they produce 1,400,000 bottles.

Biological

From an ice giant, the hilly arc came to life that from the foothills of the Lombard pre-Alps laps the two shores of Lake Iseo, extending up to the ridge of Mount Orfano. A reserve of light, water and energy that makes the expression of viticulture unique, which has found its happy place here.

Lights and Shadows

Those who pass through these hills see a landscape shaped by the vineyard. But who was born and raised among these hills, who day by day has learned to distinguish lights, shadows and scents, and through them the vocation of every single palm of the earth, who really knows these places, sees a promise to keep.

Respect

We say that grapes need only one thing: respect. Harvest each bunch by hand, separate each exposure and gently press, prepare hundreds of small white oak pièces for fermentation, listen to the must becoming wine, create the cuvée and then wait another four, five, six years for aging, entrusting the final touch of remuage to capable hands.

Time

All this, you know, requires patience and an infinite amount of time.

The relationship between wine and man comes from patience. Time is our friend and we respect it.

He taught us the value of experience and tradition, the greatness of every little gesture and the importance of knowing when it's time to stop and wait.
