Bellavista Franciacorta Rosé Brut Vintage is a delightful sparkling wine made from a blend of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir grapes grown in the Franciacorta wine region of Italy. The wine boasts a beautiful pink hue and a fine, persistent perlage. It offers a fresh and fruity bouquet with pleasant notes of strawberry, raspberry, and citrus fruits. On the palate, it is creamy and crisp with delicate flavours of flowers and red fruits coupled with hints of toasted almond and bread crust. The finish is sophisticated with a long-lasting zesty aftertaste. This wine pairs well with shellfish, sushi, smoked salmon, and vegetarian dishes. Enjoy it chilled on a special occasion or anytime you fancy.

Tasting Notes

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. 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

About the Winery

The Italian wine label of Bellavista was founded in the year 1977, in Franciacorta by Vittorio Moretti. What was once a small, family-owned wine brand, got developed into a technologically-sophisticated winery in about three decades’ time.

The vineyards from where grapes are sourced for these wines are located on top of the Bellavista Hill, which explains the reason for the name of this label. Today, the Moretti family owns 198 hectares of land in one of Italy’s wine-rich areas of Franciacorta.

There are around 107 vineyards located in the Alpine foothills, with close proximity to the Lake Iseo and Monte Orfano. The climate, soil and the overall terroir of this place helps the grapes to express themselves fully well when they become ripe and nice. Grapes are neatly hand-picked and sorted according to the vineyards from where they were picked.

The winemaking principle followed here is to be as close to nature as possible in all the processes starting from the vineyards to the wine. Some of the popular Bellavista wines are:
