is a point of excellence for our understanding of Franciacorta.
It is the ultimate expression of a project whose objective has been the search for the pure essence of harmony since 1977. Today it symbolises a tradition that strives to represent, in terms of quality and type, the most mysterious soul of the land of Franciacorta, and the wine-making style of Bellavista.
A vineyard for Brera.
Giovanni Brera, charmed and amazed by the beauty of the area bathed in the bright sunlight, wished to take a walk. On the terraces above the convent we found various Merlot vines.
That was when we decided to make a wine that was going to be “ours”. For us and for a few friends. So, in a land famous for its bubbly wines and excellent whites, for our Giuàn, we made a “négar” (a red) and we called it “Zuanne”, meaning Giovanni in our local 17th century dialect.
The wine-making procedurehas always been geared towards getting the most out of the Merlot vine variety by following the beliefs of the palate of our friend Gianni, who loved superior wines with excellent fruity bouquets, yet smooth and wellrounded.
