A wine of gravitas and grace, the 2016 Vittorio Moretti Riserva embodies the quiet power and visionary spirit of its namesake. Pale gold with an ethereal shimmer, it opens with heady aromas of elderflower and jasmine, flint and incense, layered with Mediterranean herbs and a whisper of tropical fruit. On the palate, the mousse is impossibly fine, a silken surge of citrus, salt, and savoury depth, leading into waves of mineral tension and bright, crystalline purity. It’s complex, poised, and endlessly resonant: a Franciacorta of both soul and structure, where refinement meets force of will.

For when: celebration feels sacred, not loud.
Pairs with: caviar, lobster thermidor, or truffle risotto.

Crafted only in the finest vintages and aged over 70 months on lees, Vittorio Moretti Riserva represents the pinnacle of Bellavista’s artistry. Each bottle is riddled and disgorged by hand, a rare expression of patience and precision. The result is a zero-dosage Franciacorta that transcends category, vibrant yet profound, an ode to the land and the man who believed that beauty and excellence should never be hurried.
