Bellavista - 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".

Bellavista - Pas Operé - Franciacorta D.O.C.G. - Luxury Limited Edition - 750 ml

An idea that rises to the sky. This cuvée symbolizes purity, energy, freshness and transformation, like the clouds that enchant as they pass. The Pas Operé, a blend of chardonnay and pinot noir, is the result of a rigorous selection of the vineyard, so much so that it comes only from historical plots over 30 years old and mainly exposed 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 froth is accompanied by a perlage of unparalleled persistence and finesse, while the aromas are immediately complex, even in their essentiality.

Land of Wine

Time transforms this rigorous selection into a perfect harmony that recalls a thought of wisdom. Inspiration to it, we have combined the motif "Dedar Short Cuts". A three-dimensional and contemporary texture characterized by a sophisticated interweaving of threads. The same rigor that we find in the architecture of Pompeii, in an ancient 19th century engraving.

Tasting Notes

Straw yellow, with a fine and persistent perlage. The nose reveals an olfactory profile of rare fragrance thanks to notes of acacia honey, apple and chamomile. These are flanked by distant hints of small pastries and vanilla that accompany it towards a full sip, of great structure and elegance. Perfectly balanced thanks to a textbook freshness and flavor, it closes with a long and very pleasant finish.

Pairings

Excellent as an aperitif, Bellavista's Pas Operé is Franciacorta ideal to accompany a great classic of Japanese cuisine, a mixed sashimi.
