Nose

The bouquet is generous, with emphatic notes of Golden Delicious apple, peach, and wisteria, displaying a wonderful balance between fragrance and refreshing crispness.

Palate

The palate is fruit-forward and smooth, full-bodied and well-structured; overall, it is a harmonious and elegant wine.

Growing Conditions

The Glera grapes are grown in the hills of Cordignano, Sarmede, and Cappella Maggiore in south-southwest facing vineyards, at elevations of 120-240 metres. The weather is temperate, with cold winters and warm summers, with good ventilation; day-night temperature differentials are significant, particularly in the summer.

Harvest

The vines, largely trained to the Sylvoz system, are planted to an average density of 4,000 per hectare. The harvest, entirely by hand, is carried out in mid-September; the yield averages 90 q/ha.

Winemaking

The clusters are de-stemmed then gently pressed in a bladder press. After gravity-settling, the must is fermented 18-20°C, then re-ferments in 100hl steel pressure fermenters for about two months, in accord with the Italian Method.

Appearance

It appears luminous and sparkling, with a delicate bead of fine bubbles and a soft but generous mousse.

Food Pairing

LEVIS is an ideal aperitif wine, while its firm structure and body admirably suit it for partnering with Italian antipasti and first courses of vegetable and fish. It is best enjoyed in the first year following harvest, but if well stored, both nose and palate will develop fine complexity over the two years follow.

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.
