This rosé is a delicate pink with persistent bubbles. The nose opens with intense white peach notes that mellow into wild strawberries, golden apple, rosehip and a hint of toast.

Description
This estate makes Italy’s finest sparkling wines from its 200 hectares of vineyard situated in the western part of the Franciacorta zone in a natural amphitheatre. The glacial soil is full of stones, and provides the ideal environment for the Chardonnay and Pinot Noir grapes used in the production of their Franciacorta. Bellavista, meaning ‘beautiful view’ in Italian, was founded by Vittorio Moretti in the early 1970s, with the first vintage produced in 1979. In 1981, he met a young winemaker, Mattia Vezzola and this partnership transformed Bellavista into Italy’s leading producer of quality sparkling wine. This superb rosé is certainly a testament to the success of the partnership.
A delicate pink colour with persistent bubbles. The nose opens with intense white peach notes that mellow into wild strawberries, golden apple, rosehip and a hint of toast. On the palate, the wine is dry with well balanced, fresh acidity. An elegant background of blackcurrant and sweet almond flavours lingers on the finish.
Please drink this wine on its own!
