DISCOVER THE HISTORY

Bellavista

For five centuries, the Convento dell’Annunciata was home to the Friars of the Order of the Servants of Mary, who tended the vineyards here.

Since the 1980s, the Moretti family has continued this tradition through the Bellavista winery, relentlessly taking care of the Convent’s land and pursuing exciting wine stories.

Wine: our craft

The first wine produced by Bellavista on the Convent’s land was the pure Chardonnay ‘Convento dell’Annunciata’. The first vintage was released in 1991 and was an immediate critical success. This enchantment is repeated with each vintage, and today this wine is the perfect way to experience the magic of the Convent and the beauty of Franciacorta.

1991 was also the first vintage of the red wine ‘Zuanne’, a Merlot dedicated by Vittorio Moretti to the journalist Gianni Brera. Only a few rare bottles are produced, testifying to a long friendship marked by a shared love of the land and a passion for the pleasures of the palate.
