This cuvée exhibits the joie de vivre, creativity and indomitable spirit of Vittorio Moretti: a Riserva that recalls the historicity of the terroir of Franciacorta and its perpetual renewal. It is the link between reminiscence and vision, and between past and future. The best selections yield this precious blend: the best soils and the best exposures, the best grapes and the best subdivisions of the harvest. The grapes from the older vines are fermented in small, white-oak barrels, and the long élevage on the lees is ennobled by the use of a cork.

TASTING NOTES

On the eye: Bright and brilliant yellow. Very fine and persistent perlage, it is enveloped by a creamy, punctiform bubble.

On the nose: The aromatic expression comes slowly, gracefully displaying power and finesse. A delicate palette of scents accompanies tactile forms traced on the purity of the Bellavista style. Nuances of bergamot flowers, magnolia, citrus notes, star anise, precious scents of cream and talc explode on the nose in an expressive richness that abandons all rigidity, slowly crossing the dynamic rhythm of pleasure.

On the palate: A sequence of nuances moves vigorously between nose and palate. Craftsmanship, maniacal attention to detail, terroir and vintage that translate into a magic made of tension and freshness. The dynamic rhythm of citrus, the delicate perception of beeswax, a hint of ginger, the fragrance of the fruit, unravel on the palate in a succession of perfection and harmony, in a depth that weighs centrally in the taste.
