Dedicated to the legendary temple of the Opera, to which the winery feels close and inspired, it is the best expression of the vintage and the Bellavista style. The grapes<br />that make up this great cuvée, mainly chardonnay and pinot noir, are the best possible, the result of a radical selection of individual vineyards. In addition to the exceptional<br />quality of the raw materials used, this Franciacorta differs from other Bruts in that more than a quarter of the wines from which it is made are aged for seven months in small<br />oak barrels. Statuesque in its balance, capable of supporting and at the same time riding the characteristics of the vintage, this Metodo Franciacorta is impressive for its<br />intensity and complexity. The colour is an intense straw-yellow, with a very fine and persistent perlage, a prologue to aromas that appear quintessentially Bellavista.<br />Generous and elegant are the floral notes of hawthorn, unpredictable the balsamic ones of laurel, first, then candied citrus and small pastries. The taste is thick, decisive,<br />aristocratic, creamy and deep at the same time. The finish is magnificent for its cleanliness and flavour.<br /><br />Grapes Chardonnay 75%, Pinot Noir 25%.<br />Training system Guyot<br />Planting density 5000 vines/ha<br />Yield 100 quintals/ha<br />Average age of vines 25 years<br />Harvest period End of August, beginning of September<br />Ageing 59% pièces, 41% inox<br />Dosage 4.5 g/l<br />Acidity 6.9<br />
