Bellavista
The Harmony of Time and the Excellence of Franciacorta
"Bellavista represents the pinnacle of Franciacorta DOCG, producing sparkling wines using the classic method that capture the essence of Lombardy with inimitable purity and elegance."
Philosophy and Terroir of Erbusco
Since its founding by Vittorio Moretti, Bellavista has maintained absolute respect for the biodiversity of its 147 plots. Located in the morainic amphitheater of Lake Iseo, the winery benefits from glacial soils rich in minerals. These soils give Chardonnay and Pinot Nero a vibrant acidity, a technical characteristic highlighted by the OIV in precision viticulture standards.
