Nose

The nose is redolent of wild red berryfruit, with notes of raspberry and wild cherry, and additional ageing brings out a delicate hint of sweet violets.

Growing Conditions

The vineyards, planted to a density of about 4,000 vines per hectare and trained to the Guyot and spurred cordon systems, are in a mix of limestone and clay. The harvest, performed exclusively by hand, in September, is carried out in several passes, as each variety reaches perfect ripeness.

Winemaking

The grapes are de-stemmed, and the must macerates on the skins at 12°C for 48 hours. The traditional red-wine fermentation follows, lasting about 15 day, with two délestages. After spending time on the skins after fermentation, the wine immediately undergoes malolactic fermentation.

Appearance

Remarkable deep ruby red, with purple highlights.

Food Pairing

Contrada di Concenigo complements roasts, braises, and game birds, and is especially delicious with aged cheeses. It will be at its best beginning 4 years after the harvest, and it will continue to improve over the following years, particularly in the 1.5 litre size, in which many of the vintages of this wine are bottled.

BellendaSEI UNO Conegliano Valdobbiadene DOCG Prosecco Superiore Extra Brut Rive di Carpesica

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.

BellendaPLUCK - Brut Nature Blanc de Noirs - Metodo Classico

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.
