The fruit comes from more than 20 estate vineyards on high hills, each with its own terroir. The vines are 25 years old on average.
Vinification
More than a quarter of the base wines ferment in small white-oak barrels; the remainder is kept in stainless-steel tanks. Secondary fermentation takes place in the bottle.
Ageing
The barrel-fermented portion of the base wines remains in small white-oak barrels for seven months. Following secondary fermentation, the wine ages in bottle for at least 36 months.

Label / history
Bellavista began its partnership with Teatro alla Scala in 2004, when the theatre reopened after a lengthy renovation. Its wines were served during the reopening celebrations and at performance premieres. The winery subsequently dedicated a small, one-off collection of wines from rare vintages to La Scala.
