Franciacorta Extra Brut Rosé 2020

Description

Extra brut rosé from Lombardy, 12.5% ABV, produced by Bellavista. Blend of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir, 2020 vintage. A Franciacorta Rosé that embodies the excellence of Italian sparkling wine, born of the passion and dedication of a winery that has made perfection its goal. The selection of base wines is, as always, crucial, so much so that the final blend is chosen from as many as 30 vintage selections, some of which mature in small white oak barrels. Cellar aging lasts at least four years, starting from the harvest. The aromatic dance opens with cherry blossoms and hibiscus flowers, followed and amplified by hints of pomegranate and small red berries. The youthful pale pink nuances evolve into precious antique hues with aging in bottle. The palate is fleshy, dry, fresh but not harsh, capable of harmonious and seductive vibrations.

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
