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.

Product notes
Soils that are rich in sand, gravel and silt and typically poor in clay, often with considerable thickness and high permeability. 230-350 m a.s.l. Continental climate with enormous benefits from the proximity of the lake Iseo, which has a huge mitigating effect on temperatures in both summer and winter. Evidence of this lies in Franciacorta’s typically Mediterranean vegetation. Cultivation system Guyot - Plant density 5000 vines per hectare - Average age of vines 25 years
Production notes
Harvest period Late august, early september. As always, the choice of the base wines is decisive, and that explains why the final assembly is made choosing from 30 vintage selections, some of which have matured in small white oak casks. Cellaring lasts 4 years or more after the harvest.
Tasting notes
The juvenile light pink hues can evolve into precious dusty colors with bottle-ageing, and are surrounded by a shining white foam and a thick, pesistent pérlage. White peach aromas start the aromatic dance, followed and amplified by hints of wild strawberries, wildflowers and toasted bread. The mouthfeel is fleshy, dry, fresh but not sharp, punctuated by harmonious and seductive vibrations reminiscent of black currant and sweet almonds. Food pairing is with greasy, fatty, and fried dishes, and goes very well with fish and pasta dishes. Great for the classic Italian aperitif. Service Temperature 6 to 8°C - Wine ageing potential: 10 years
