Vittorio Moretti, patron at Bellavista, decided to put his name on the label of the latest born in his winery, Meraviglioso. That is to say a cuvée of as many as six great vintages of the “riserva”, the summary of almost forty years in the vineyard and in the cellar
Meraviglioso, nomen omen. When the patron of Bellavista first tasted the new “metodo classico” he exclaimed: «Meraviglioso!». Marvellous. That’s it. Hence the choice of the name came natural, it had to be this. Now, upon presenting the newborn to the press, Vittorio Moretti’s eyes are glistening. He likes the wine in his glass, and not just because he was the one to make it. A creamy foam, a continuous perlage with elegantly fine bubbles appearing with liveliness and persistence. Yet there’s something else making Moretti so lively, that is to say the recent nomination to president of Consorzio Franciacorta. Beside him, his daughter Francesca and oenologist Mattia Vezzola. As for the new mandate, Bellavista’s patron explains: «I am an entrepreneur and entrepreneurs love challenges. The strategic course of action of my mandate can be defined by three very simple values: truth, justice and beauty». Or marvel, if you wish.
