About this winery
Those original vineyards, of extraordinary quality, are located on the Bellavista hill, so named for its splendid position, which looks out over lake Iseo and the entire Po Valley, all the way to the foothills of the Alps. Looking to the future Vittorio Maretti devoted special attention to the acquisition area. Bellavista proposes a timeless style and class, the fruit of a simple approach and artisanal attention to even the smallest detail.

Tasting notes
Rich and persistent foam. Thin strings of pearls form a lasting crown. The color is yellow and bright with green reflections. The nose is distinguished by a clear minerality with notes of ripe fruit, meringue, pastry and candied zest. The flavor is to match, with a crunchy texture that combines elegance and lightness, depth and harmony. Its lively character is firmly supported by a freshness that maintains its balance over time, a beautiful promise of longevity.
