FRANCIACORTA EXTRA BRUT 'VITTORIO MORETTI' MAGNUM BELLAVISTA 2013 DESCRIPTION

The Franciacorta Extra Brut "Vittorio Moretti" Bellavista is the result of years of study, experience and experimentation of the famous maison, the extraordinary culmination of a journey that began in 1977, when the small building contractor Vittorio Moretti decided to expand his home in Erbusco, placing it alongside a winery. Today we are faced with one of the largest, most important and most prestigious producers in Italy, which has reached incredible qualitative heights with this label.

Bellavista "Vittorio Moretti" is an elegant, powerful and important Franciacorta of the highest calibre, a perfect synthesis of the creaminess of fruit, rich symphony of aromas and spicy contribution of wood, all crowned by a perlage of the finest and most paradigmatic workmanship. It is made only in the best vintages from Chardonnay and Pinot Noir grapes, vinified in steel and oak barrels. After refermentation in the bottle using the Metodo Classico, it evolves on the lees in the bottle for more than 7 years in the maison's cellars. At the end of this long maturation period, the sparkling wine reaches a level of richness, complexity and balance that makes it able to compete with the biggest international stars.

Franciacorta "Vittorio Moretti" Extra Brut Magnum is an intense expression of great class, designed to excite enthusiasts and amaze the most demanding tasters. It bewitches the eye for its soft and very fine perlage that embellishes and illuminates a brilliant golden robe. The bouquet is wide, articulate and complex. It includes notes of ripe white fruit, sweet spices, candied citrus, honey and toasted nuts such as almonds and hazelnuts. The palate is intense, complex, soft, broad and creamy, endowed with dynamic progression and energetic verticality. It is the highlight of a splendid production, the result of the producer's love for the highest potential of the territory. A territory that he has always been able to exploit and care for to the fullest, capable of giving unique and unmissable bubbles. In Magnum format, a beautiful gift!
