He named it after the hill where it stands, whose beautiful view stretches over Lake Iseo and the Po Valley. The first harvest gave only still wine, and the first bottles of traditional-method sparkling wine followed the year after.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eToday the house is run by his daughter Francesca Moretti, and Bellavista belongs to the family's Terra Moretti group of wineries. Richard Geoffroy, chef de cave at Dom Pérignon for 28 years, now advises the house, and in autumn 2024 he and Francesca Moretti presented the new Alma Assemblage collection together. Bellavista makes around 1.3 million bottles a year.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eBellavista vineyards and style: Chardonnay and Pinot Nero in Franciacorta\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe estate farms about 190 hectares spread over ten municipalities of Franciacorta, in the hills just south of Lake Iseo. \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/chardonnay\"\u003eChardonnay\u003c\/a\u003e is the backbone of almost every cuvée, with Pinot Nero adding structure and a little Pinot Bianco in some plots. A large share of the base wines ferment in small oak barrels rather than steel tanks, which gives the finished wines texture and depth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs with all Franciacorta, the second fermentation happens in the bottle, and the wines then rest on their lees for a long time before disgorgement. The Alma wines spend at least 30 months on the lees. The house style is fresh and precise, with fine bubbles, ripe citrus and a dry, focused finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eBellavista Franciacorta: Alma Assemblage, Alma Rosé and Teatro alla Scala\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAlma Assemblage\u003c\/strong\u003e took over from the long-running Alma Gran Cuvée in 2024.

Alma Assemblage gets a small dosage at disgorgement, while Alma Non Dosato gets none, so it tastes drier and more mineral.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat happened to Bellavista Alma Gran Cuvée?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn 2024 the Alma Gran Cuvée line was replaced by the Alma Assemblage collection. The idea is the same, a multi-vineyard Franciacorta, but each edition now carries a number on the label.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eAre all wines called Bellavista from this house?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo. A Spanish bodega and a Chianti Classico vineyard also carry the name Bellavista.

On the nose, it opens with citrus zest and green apple, followed by white flowers, fresh brioche, and hints of toasted nuts and chalky minerality—classic Franciacorta aromatics with a Bellavista signature.\n\nThe palate is taut, dry, and beautifully structured, with crisp acidity framing flavors of lemon curd, ripe pear, and stone fruits, layered over subtle pastry notes and a salty, mineral edge. The Extra Brut dosage keeps the wine focused and precise, giving it great energy and length.

The fruit is typically harvested by hand to ensure careful selection of bunches at optimal ripeness. Bellavista is known for vinifying a significant proportion of the base wines in small oak barrels, adding texture and complexity, before blending different parcels and reserve wines into the final assemblage. The second fermentation takes place in bottle following the traditional method, with an extended period of lees aging to build creaminess, fine bubbles, and layered aromas, culminating in a precise Extra Brut style with minimal dosage.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFood \u0026amp; Serving\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis Franciacorta is a versatile food partner, ideal with refined appetizers such as oysters, crudo, carpaccio, and caviar, as well as delicate fish dishes, shellfish, sushi, and tempura.

Serve well chilled at around 6–8°C (43–46°F) to highlight its tension and aromatics.
