Franciacorta Rosé Brut 2016 Bellavista

Bellavista Rosè, or rather the perfect bubble to infuse charm into special occasions. It comes from one of the most prestigious wineries in Franciacorta and expresses a unique and paradigmatic style that has become synonymous with class, elegance and freshness. This Rosé is the intriguing and seductive variation of the famous and traditional Bellavista sparkling wine, capable of combining the freshness of large bubbles with the delicate but intense structure of Pinot Noir. Bellavista Franciacorta Rosé is produced in limited quantities: only 3% of the entire production is in fact destined for this label, which represents a precious jewel of the maison. High quality, captivating appearance, softness and aromatic cleanliness are the right words to describe this bubble produced with the Classic Method from a single harvest, with aging on the lees in the bottle for 36 months.

• Procedure: The initial cuvée comes from a selection of over 30 base wines, some of which are fermented and aged in small white oak barrels. At the end of the entire production process, which comes from a unique and amazing know-how, the aromatic richness of fruit and red flowers, yeast and brioche integrates into an impeccable balance.
• Perlage: The perlage of Franciacorta Bellavista Rosé is rich and lively, of extraordinary finesse and precious persistence. The rosé color conquers for its luminosity, enhanced by the darting reflections of the very fine bubbles. The scents confirm this visual impression of charm and expressive clarity: hints of freshly picked wild strawberries and rose petals come together in a soft and fluffy bed decorated with garlands of flowers and citrus fruits. The sip is enveloping and silky, with freshness, structure and tantalizing minerality.
• Advice and pairings: Give a unique and intriguing taste experience, as fascinating as an encounter by the light of candle by the sea, for this reason it lends itself extraordinarily well to accompanying romantic moments or dinners based on crudités and seafood. A great aperitif, the Rosé di Bellavista is exalted with appetizers based on cured meats and sausages, risotto with mushrooms and fish soups.

Cantine Bellavista

IT WAS BORN IN FRANCIACORTA IN 1977 BY THE WILL OF ENTREPRENEUR VITTORIO MORETTI WHO DECIDED THAT YEAR TO TRANSFORM A SMALL WINE-GROWING BUSINESS FOUNDED ON SOME HECTARES OF FAMILY OWNERSHIP INTO A COMPANY. THEY ARE LOCATED ON THE BELLAVISTA HILL, SO NAMED FOR THE SPLENDID LOCATION WHICH, FROM A SINGLE POINT, EMBRACES LAKE ISEO AND THE ENTIRE POLAND PLAIN AS WELL AS THE ALPS. WITH FORESIGHT, VITTORIO MORETTI PAYS PARTICULAR ATTENTION TO THE PURCHASE OF NEW VINEYARDS UP TO THE CURRENT 203 HECTARES OF VINEYARDS, INCLUDING THE AREA OF VOCATION OF THE "FRANCIACORTA". IN 1981 VITTORIO MORETTI MEETS THE OENOLOGY MATTIA VEZZOLA WHO IN THE SAME YEAR JOINS THE COMPANY. HIS ROLE WILL BE DETERMINING IN THE DEFINITION OF THE STYLE OF BELLAVISTA. IN 2007 MATTIA VEZZOLA WAS ATTRIBUTED THE IMPORTANT CAREER RECOGNITION BY THE GAMBERO ROSSO-SLOW FOOD- GUIDE VINI D'ITALIA AS "WINE MAKER OF THE YEAR". RESPECT FOR TRADITIONS IS CREATED IN THE RECOVERY OF A UNIQUE GESTURE, RECOGNIZED AROUND THE WORLD AS A RARE EXPRESSION OF REFINEMENT, BALANCE AND ELEGANCE. THE USE OF TRADITIONAL PRESSES GUARANTEES A DELICATE PRESSING OF THE GRAPES AND A PARTICULAR FRACTIONING OF THE MUST. IN SPRING, WHEN THE CUVÉES ARE CREATED, BELLAVISTA HAS AN AVERAGE ASSET OF NINETY SELECTIONS, PART OF WHICH FERMENTED IN SMALL OAK BARRELS. EXCELLENCE IS A DAILY GOAL THAT BELLAVISTA PURSUES THROUGH THE APPLICATION OF PRECISE PARAMETERS. FROM THE VINEYARD TO THE WINE, EVERYTHING IS ENSURED TO NATURAL PROCESSING. EVERY CHOICE IS MADE WITHIN THE CONSTRAINT IMPOSED BY THE RHYTHMS OF NATURE AND THE HISTORY OF THE FRANCIACORTA TERRITORY.
