Description
What kind of wine it is
Bellavista Franciacorta Vittorio Moretti Dosaggio Zero Riserva is a Lombard wine that embodies the rigour of the Traditional Method. In the glass, it displays a generous perlage and a compact mousse. The bouquet combines clear notes of ripe white fruit, peach, honey and delicate citrus blossom. On the palate, it confirms a broad freshness, enriched by hints of small red berries and a distinct marine savouriness. The sip develops with a soft fullness and well-integrated acidity, ensuring a long and decisive persistence.
Where it comes from
This wine has its roots in Lombardy, in the prestigious terroir of Franciacorta. Bellavista carefully selects the grapes from the best estate crus located between Erbusco, Nigoline, Torbiato and Colombaro. These plots benefit from a particular microclimatic position, ideal for the perfect ripening of the grapes. The synergistic use of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir creates a blend with a balanced and incisive profile. This strong territorial vocation translates into a production that authentically tells the story of the Brescia wine landscape.
How it is produced
The process strictly follows the Traditional Method, through meticulous refermentation in the bottle. The choice of Dosaggio Zero enhances the wine's utmost expressive purity, excluding the addition of sugars at the end. The wine undergoes a prolonged ageing on the lees, a crucial step to impart complexity to the structure. The visual result offers fine bubbles and a creamy crown. On the palate, the technique employed delivers great volume and harmonious acidity that extends the flavours into a clean and lasting finish.
