The 2006 Curtefranca Convento Santissima Annunciata is a pretty, delicate wine laced with white peaches, flowers, minerals and subtle French oak. The wine offers tons of clarity and detail on a mid-weight frame. Anticipated maturity: 2009-2012. This is a strong set of wines from Bellavista, hands-down the qualitative leader in Franciacorta. The NV Brut Cuvee is typically one of Italy’s finest sparkling wines, as it is again this year. Importer: Empson, USA, Alexandria, VA; tel. (703) 684-0900
