Bellavista Franciacorta Extra Brut Rosè 2020

Description

The enchantment of a superb structure blends admirably with the grace of an enveloping intensity. Pinot noir finds its oldest and most cultured expression in this cuvée. A reading that has its epicentre in the heart of Franciacorta and in colour the reasons for its essence. Because colour is not only the factor responsible for the tonality and stability of this rare cuvée, it is also the creator of the delicate and constant olfactory trait, of what we can define as a graceful masterpiece of nature. A miracle made possible by the perfect phenolic maturity of the grapes and a now rare method of elaboration. The cuvée, made according to the most rigorous Bellavista tradition, draws on a heritage of more than one hundred and fifty harvest selections, many of which ferment and elevate in small white oak barrels. The intensity of the fruit celebrates, and does not obscure, the sense of harmony that pervades every single trait of its sensory expression. As with any rarity, the Rosé is produced in extremely limited quantities.

From this winery

• Start up year: 1977
• Oenologist: Francesca Moretti
• Bottles produced: 1.600.000
• Hectares: 207

A deep love has always bound Vittorio Moretti to the land. The never-quenched memory of carefree childhood summers, spent in his maternal grandparents' countryside, resurfaced with impetus many years later, when he decided to "do agriculture" and discover himself as a winegrower. His determination let his intuition take shape. A thought and an action that feed off each other, turning into an unstoppable crescendo. Thus Bellavista was born, in the heart of Franciacorta.

In the beginning it was just a few hectares, a family house and adjacent wine cellar, with the desire to make good wine to share with friends. But the power of the dream is overwhelming, fuelled by Vittorio Moretti's innate inclination to achieve perfection in all his work. Trips to France are decisive, there one breathes a new air, learns from the great masters, discovers places and people whose existence revolves around wine. Read more
