Description
This wine originates from grapes grown in the Uccellanda vineyard, cultivated solely with Chardonnay and situated on one of Franciacorta's sunniest and most luminous slopes. From here, it is possible to admire the morainic basin of Lake Iseo, which is mainly responsible for the distinctive character of this land within the panorama of Italian wines. We are located in the town of Cortefranca, in the village of Nigoline, at an average altitude of 300 metres above sea level. A distinctive climatic factor in delineating pure, elegant wines and deeply expressive of the breath of nature surrounding them.

Vittorio Moretti, with far-sightedness, dedicates particular attention to purchasing new vineyards to arrive at the current 203 hectares under vine, included in the 'Franciacorta' vocation zone.
In 1981, Vittorio Moretti met the oenologist Mattia Vezzola, who joined the company in the same year. His role would be decisive in defining Bellavista's style.
In 2007, Mattia Vezzola was awarded the important career recognition by the Gambero Rosso-Slow Food's guide Vini d'Italia- as 'Oenologist of the Year'. Read more
