FRANCIACORTA BRUT "TEATRO ALLA SCALA" BELLAVISTA 2019

BELLAVISTA, takes its name from the splendid position that, from a single point, embraces Lake Iseo and the entire tip of the Po valley up to the chain of the Alps. With foresight Vittorio Moretti dedicates particular attention to the purchase of new vineyards up to to reach the current 203 vineyards, included in the "Franciacorta" vocation area.

The "Teatro alla Scala" is the quintessence of Bellavista: the highest manifestation of its style and the best expression of each harvest. Each element that covers the vintage brut bottle is designed to represent the essence of the theater at the staircase. The label shows the more traditional colors and motifs of interior design, while the packaging portrays the famous and austere facade. In the autographed engraving of its architect Giuseppe Piermarini. The figurines of the original sketches made by two of the greatest set designers for the opera premieres "Turandot" by Giacomo Puccini and "Ernani" by Giuseppe Verdi appear from the windows of the theater.

Dedicated to the legendary temple of the Opera, to which the company feels close and inspired, it is the best expression of the vintage and the Bellavista style. The grapes that make up this great cuvée, mainly chardonnay and pinot noir, are the best possible, the result of a radical selection of the individual vineyards. In addition to the exceptional quality of the raw material used, this Franciacorta differs from the other Bruts in that more than a quarter of the wines it is made of ages for seven months in small oak barrels. Statuesque in terms of balance, able to support and at the same time ride the characteristics of the vintage, this Franciacorta Method impresses for intensity and complexity. Intense straw yellow in color, it has a very fine and persistent perlage, a prologue to aromas that appear to be the quintessence of the Bellavista style. Generous and elegant floral notes of hawthorn, unpredictable balsamic notes of laurel, first, candied citrus fruit and small pastries, then. The mouth is thick, firm, aristocratic, creamy and deep at the same time. Magnificent finish for cleanliness and flavor.
