WHO IS
BELLAVISTA
Bellavista isn’t just a winery—it’s an audacious dream made real by Vittorio Moretti in the 1970s, smack in the heart of Franciacorta’s morainic amphitheater.
Back then, no one looked at this sleepy Lombard hillside and thought, “Champagne who?” But Moretti did. With an architect’s eye and a dreamer’s spirit, he turned Bellavista into Italy’s answer to méthode champenoise—one that sings with its own aria. Today, the estate spans 200 hectares split into 147 precisely mapped vineyard parcels, giving winemaker Mattia Vezzola the kind of terroir toolkit that would make a French vigneron weep with envy.
Chardonnay, Pinot Nero, and Pinot Bianco grow here in harmony, nurtured like prized orchestra instruments. The wines are elegantly precise—think opera in a bottle—and their cuvées are built like symphonies, layer by layer, note by note. Bellavista invented the Satèn category (a silky blanc de blancs sparkler), but instead of trademarking it forever, they gifted it to Franciacorta. Because that’sjust how they roll. Add in a long-standing partnership with Teatro alla Scala, and you’ve got a winery that’s part bubble, part bravura, and entirely Bellavista.

Tasting
Luminous, pristine yellow color. Fine and suave perlage, with a persistence that promises a rich and enveloping, creamy palate. A delicate bouquet of Mediterranean flowers that combines with lively citrus notes, offering freshness and complexity. Dynamic and taut on the palate, with a mineral finish that adds depth and character.

Did You Know?
Bellavista’s wines share billing with the world’s greatest tenors: every December, their Millesimato Brut is poured on opening night at Teatro alla Scala. Vittorio Moretti, a lover of opera and beauty in all forms, built the winery with the same theatrical elegance as the stage it toasts.

What people say?
🇮🇹 Fransciacorta wine. Very delicate I must say. Flavors like citrus, minerals, almonds and some stone. Medium long finish

Vivino
Light golden yellow color. Lime and lemon smells with hints of pink grapefruit and walnuts. Tastes of walnuts and pink grapefruit with lime infusion.
