2020 Uccellanda Curtefranca Bianco, Bellavista

A masterstroke of elegance and restraint, the 2020 Uccellanda Curtefranca Bianco glows a deep golden hue, hinting at the richness within. The nose is immediately captivating, layers of quince, ripe lemon, and white peach interwoven with subtle tones of vanilla, toasted hazelnut, and acacia honey. On the palate, it’s pure silk: expansive yet weightless, with creamy texture balanced by a vibrant mineral thread. Notes of citrus oil and baked apple unfurl into a finish that feels both endless and refined, carrying the warmth of the vineyard’s sun-drenched slopes in every sip.

For when: dinner calls for something quietly spectacular.
Pairs with: butter-poached lobster, truffle risotto, or aged Comté.
If this wine were a feeling, it’d be the hush before sunset over Lake Iseo, glowing, poised, and utterly timeless.

From the sunlit slopes of the Uccellanda vineyard, Bellavista crafts this pure Chardonnay as an ode to Franciacorta’s still white wines. Grown organically on carbonate-rich glacial soils and aged in oak for subtle depth, it captures the estate’s signature balance between opulence and finesse. Under the watchful eye of the Moretti family, Uccellanda stands as a rare and luminous expression of place, a wine that whispers luxury with quiet confidence.
