Bellavista Franciacorta Extra Brut Rosé 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: Mattia Vezzola
• Bottles produced: 1.400.000
• Hectares: 203

The vineyards are located on the Collina Bellavista (Bellavista Hill), so called because of its splendid position that, from a single point, embraces Lake Iseo and the entire Po Valley as far as the Alps.

Vittorio Moretti, with far-sightedness, dedicates particular attention to purchasing new vineyards to arrive at the current 203 hectares under vine, included in the 'Franciacorta' vocation zone.

In 1981, Vittorio Moretti met the oenologist Mattia Vezzola, who joined the company in the same year. His role would be decisive in defining Bellavista's style.

In 2007, Mattia Vezzola was awarded the important career recognition by the Gambero Rosso-Slow Food's guide Vini d'Italia- as 'Oenologist of the Year'. Read more
