Bellavista
For five centuries, the Convento dell’Annunciata was home to the friars of the Order of the Servants of Mary, who tended the splendid, age-old vineyards here.
A Since the 1980s, the Moretti family has become heir to this tradition by taking care of the Convent’s land by means of the Bellavista winery and its unflagging quest for exciting wines and their fascinating back stories.
Wine: our profession and our craft

The first wine produced by Bellavista on the Convent’s lands was the 100% cru Chardonnay ‘Convento dell’Annunciata’. The first vintage debut was in 1991 and it immediately met with success from wine critics. The enchantment is repeated with each harvest and today it is the ideal way to discover the charm of the Convent and the multi-faceted beauty of Franciacorta.
1991 was also the first harvest of the red wine ‘Zuanne’, a Merlot dedicated by Vittorio Moretti to the journalist Gianni Brera. A few, rare bottles attest to a long friendship marked by their love for the land and their shared passion for the pleasures of the palate.
