Winery | The SS. Annunciata vineyard is located on Mount Orfano, like the monastery from which it takes its name, built in 1449. The friars who inhabit this mystical, spiritual retreat chose Bellavista to revitalize a one-off vineyard whose origins date back to the turn of the first millennium. Consisting of 5.45 hectares, the slope enjoys a Mediterranean climate and comprises two separate soils, one above and the other below a tree between them. Two plots require specific care, separate harvesting and different winemaking procedures for their grapes to create a small cuvée. The 35-year-old vines are Guyot-trained and cultivated sustainably, yielding 80 quintals of grapes per ha. |
