| Winery | Founded in 1977 by the Moretti family, the Bellavista estate, which translates as ‘Beautiful View’, extends over 207 hectares of stunning land in Erbusco, in the heart of Franciacorta. Vittorio Moretti has always had a deep affection for the land. Long-standing memories of carefree childhood summers spent with his grandparents in the countryside resurfaced many years later, when he decided to turn his hand to winemaking. In the beginning, it was just a few hectares, a family home and an adjacent winery, with the desire to make good wine to share with friends. Fast-forward to today, and the winery produces 1,500,000 bottles a year, according to organic viticulture principles. Franciacorta's unique terroir is nestled between the pre-Alps and Lake Iseo, and benefits from glacial soils and a mild, breezy climate ideal for grape growing. The epitome of Italian style, each cuvée beautifully showcases the essence of Franciacorta. |
