Terra Moretti concludes the Bellavista project and acquires total ownership of the Bellavista hill

Terra Moretti has concluded its Bellavista project, the name of one of the Franciacorta reference wineries as well as of Italian sparkling wine production, but it is also the hill that houses the winery and the Relais & Chateaux, L’Albereta. The group led by the entrepreneur Vittorio Moretti is now the sole owner of the hill, as he told WineNews, “we have closed the circle by purchasing the remaining 6 hectares, and now we are the sole owners of the 22 hectares of the hill, which is entirely enclosed”. It is a magical place, which hosts 6-7 hectares of vineyards in Franciacorta (from which an ad hoc wine, a sort of corporate “cru”, could also be created, ed.) on the over 190 owned by Bellavista, the top winery of the Terra Moretti Wine Group (led by Francesca Moretti), in addition to the Relais and Chateaux, L’Albereta. A point of reference for Italian luxury hospitality, the top of the group’s hotel business (sector coordinated by Carmen Moretti and Martino De Rosa), which just yesterday celebrated its first 25 years of existence and success, at a big party held in the vineyards, including many “friends”, and where there was a tribute to the great Gualtiero Marchesi, signature of the Albereta restaurant for many years. “Gualtiero”, said Moretti, “was paramount to making Franciacorta the great Italian wine territory it is”.
