Bellavista Curtefranca Bianco Convento Santissima Annunciata 2019

Description

On Mount Orfano, amidst the vines, the last centuries-old olive trees and the small oak woods, the Convent of the Santissima Annunciata has been a place of the spirit since 1449, born of the encounter between architecture and nature, between beauty and silence. The Friars of the Convent of the Santissima Annunciata have always produced great wine; Bellavista has been chosen to conduct the cultivation of a unique and unrepeatable vineyard, the expression of an ancient tradition. A zoning study has documented intense and valuable vine cultivation since the Middle Ages on the ridge of the mountain facing south. The oenologist's intuition pursued the signs of nature and interpreted them perfectly; research into historical sources and careful analysis of the soils confirmed his intuition. Above and below a fig tree that, perfect genius loci, divides an ancient vineyard of 5.45 hectares into two parts, there are two different yet complementary soils for creating a small, still cuvée of pure Chardonnay.

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
