Bellenda

This wine was first made for the family's enjoyment at a special event in 1961. This Conegliano Valdobbiadene sparkling wine, departing from the normal Italian method refermentation, adheres to the more classic refermentation in the bottle method. After the wine spends a number of months sur lie, the wine is disgorged and receives a further six months ageing in the cellar, which confers on Sei Uno a subtle complexity that beautifully complements the aromas classic to Prosecco Superiore.

This fragrant, graceful rosé is the fruit of a selection of grapes from the finest vineyards in the northern area of Prosecco DOC. The Glera grape comes from the northernmost area of the province of Treviso, while the Pinot Noir grapes come from areas rich in limestone skeleton, to ensure a good structure to the wine.

Plucking is the erosive glacial action responsible for the creation and transport of large individual blocks of bedrock. This occurs in so-called “valley glaciers,” such as those that covered the hills lying in the Treviso piedmont some 100,000 years ago. These large boulders are found in great numbers over our hills and are a prominent feature of the landscape. Our Riserva Blanc de Noirs is made from hillslope-grown Pinot Noir grapes, which provide its distinctive firm structure and silky smoothness. It is produced in the same style we developed in Bellenda’s very first years, maturing over many years at a constant temperature of 13°C. in our underground cellars.

Miraval is a local place-name, where the grapes are grown. Made from glera grapes grown in the Conegliano and Valdobbiadene hills, Miraval is produced according to the Italian method, which yields a smooth, delicate sparkling wine of outstanding finesse, with a distinctive floral and fruit-rich bouquet.

This fragrant, delicate Prosecco Rosé is a quality selection of the finest Glera and Pinot Noir grapes grown in individual vineyard parcels in the province of Treviso, where limestone-rich soils ensure a firm structure to the wines here.

Contrada di Concenigo is the ancient name of the place where Bellenda’s first ageing cellar was located, in Ceneda di Vittorio Veneto. Made from a blend of Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, and Marzemino, this wine is produced in the best growing years and in limited quantities. It is fermented in steel, then macerates some 18 days. It matures about 25 months in oak barriques and tonneaux, which gives the wine its generous, complex fragrances and flavours.

San Fermo is the name of the countryside church adjacent to the vineyard where these grapes are grown. San Fermo is produced through a natural fermentation of our glera grapes grown in the Conegliano hills, then refermented and matured over a number of months first in steel then in the bottle. This Prosecco expresses the renowned qualities classic to the glacier-derived morainic hills where these grapes are grown. In the glass, it appears luminous and sparkling, with a dense, continuous bead of pin-point bubbles. The bouquet is delicate and fragrant, the palate savoury with a fine vein of minerality, and the finish concludes with a tasty tang of crisp walnut husk.

On the same path of our Prosecco Superiore characterizing Bellenda, in the continuous search for those wines that in the past were the most authentic expression of our hills, this Valdobbiadene DOCG investigates in the tradition of bottle fermented wines with higher residual sugar. It is a sparkling wine that was created to rediscover unusual combinations and best accompany some of the most traditional dishes of Venetian cuisine, where the important sweet / salty / acid mix must match in the accompanying wine. Disgorgement occurs after eighteen months of resting on the yeasts and is followed by aging in the cellar for at least another six months.

Saiph is the name of a star in the constellation of Orion; in Arabic, saif al jabbar means “sword of the giant." Saiph, made from 100% chardonnay grapes, is bottle refermented, in accord with the traditional method. The result is a sparkling wine of remarkable elegance, with the classic fragrance of fresh-baked bread.

The receding Würm glaciation left enormous amounts of morainic deposits covering our hills. Our Chardonnay vineyard, planted in this type of terrain, faithfully conveys that terroir with its distinctive structure and notes of salinity. This vintage-dated (millesimato) classic-method sparkling wine is made exclusively from Chardonnay grapes partly fermented in French oak barrels. In the spring following harvest, it undergoes its secondary fermentation in our cellars at a constant 14°C, where it remains for some 150 months. It is then disgorged and receives additional bottle-ageing for about one year.

It takes its name from the initials of Sergio Cosmo, Bellenda’s founder, and his year of birth. The glera grapes grown in the Conegliano hills gave us a base wine of impressive complexity and minerality. The second fermentation in the bottle, in accord with the classic method, enhanced its fragrances and aromatic qualities, imbuing this sparkling wine with a striking personality.
