2020 Franciacorta Rosé, Bellavista
Franciacorta, Lombardy, Italy
Delicate as silk and effortlessly refined, the 2020 Franciacorta Rosé glows a pale rose quartz in the glass, its fine, persistent bubbles dancing with poise. The nose is pure charm, cherry blossom and hibiscus entwined with pomegranate, wild strawberry, and a whisper of pink pepper. On the palate, it’s luminous and alive: red berry fruit and spice unfolding over a creamy mousse, balanced by crystalline acidity and a trace of minerality. Elegant yet dynamic, this is a rosé that hums with quiet confidence and lingers long after the last sip.
For when: the light turns soft and everything feels cinematic.
Pairs with: tuna carpaccio, duck rillettes, or fresh burrata with figs.
If this wine were a moment, it’d be an Italian sunset, glowing, graceful, and perfectly composed.
Sourced from Bellavista’s organically farmed hillside vineyards around Lake Iseo, this blend of Chardonnay and Pinot Nero captures the soul of Franciacorta rosé. Crafted in Coquard presses and aged 48 months on lees, it combines freshness with depth, part citrus brightness, part silky texture. Under the vision of the Moretti family, Bellavista continues to define the art of Italian sparkling wine: beauty, precision, and pleasure in perfect balance.

Founded in 1977 by the Moretti family, the Bellavista estate, which translates as ‘Beautiful View’, extends over 207 hectares of stunning land in Erbusco, in the heart of Franciacorta. Vittorio Moretti has always had a deep affection for the land. Long standing memories of carefree childhood summers spent with his grandparents in the countryside resurfaced many years later, when he decided to turn his hand to winemaking. In the beginning it was just a few hectares, a family home and an adjacent winery, with the desire to make good wine to share with friends. Fast-forward to today and the winery produces 1,500,000 bottles a year, according to organic viticulture principles. Franciacorta's unique terroir is nestled between the pre-Alps and Lake Iseo, and benefits from glacial soils and a mild, breezy climate ideal for grape growing. The epitome of Italian style, each cuvée beautifully showcases the essence of Franciacorta.
The grapes undergo a slow and soft mechanical pressing in Coquard presses followed by decanting at cool temperatures. Fermentation using inoculated yeasts in stainless steel at between 15°C and 18°C and partly in small white oak barrels between 23°C and 28°C, then matured for 6/7 months. The proportion of oak is 48% with the rest in stainless steel. The assemblage is created followed by vinification using the traditional method, left on lees for a 48 months. The 'Saten' style is distinguished by its lower pressure at maximum 5 atmospheres, resulting in a creamy texture.
