Nose

The bouquet is splendidly varietal, with well-integrated aromas.

Palate

While the palate is dry and full-flavoured, with a long-lingering progression laden with scents of yeast and sweet almond.

Growing Conditions

The vineyards, trained to the Guyot system, are planted in limestone-clay soils, with abundant gravel deposited by the moraine of the ancient Piave glacier. The weather is mild, with cold winters and warm summers that are well ventilated, and it enjoys excellent day-night temperature differentials.

Harvest

Harvest, exclusively by hand, takes place between late August and the first days of September.

Winemaking

After the clusters are de-stemmed and the grapes gently pressed, the must is gravity-settled, then fermented in steel at 18-20°C. After maturing sur lie, it undergoes refermentation in the bottle for 30 months. It is then disgorged and topped up with a dosage of 5 g/l.

Appearance

Appearing a luminous straw yellow with delicate emerald highlights, it immediately develops in the glass a very leisurely bead of the tiniest bubbles.

Food Pairing

Saiph is perfect as a partner to fish-based antipasti and dishes such as octopus salad, fresh-water char, and risotto with clams. It will show good development during the two years following disgorging; if it is well stored, its nose and palate will grow in complexity even four years on.

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.
