Bellini is a cocktail which is composed of two parts of sparkling wine, one part of white peach juice (obtained from select, perfectly ripe peaches) and a few drops of wild raspberry. It is a classic aperitif, with an inebriating peach fragrance. It is best enjoyed chilled (best kept in the refrigerator and chilled for quarter of an hour in the freezer before serving), in Riedel Bellini crystal glass, and should not be stored for long to enjoy its well balanced fragrance.

The Alcoholic fermentation takes place in wooden vats and stainless steel tanks whereas the malolactic fermentation occurs in wooden vats and barrels.

Nose: A black aromatic theme graphite, flint, char. A sensitive yet apparent veil of oak ever so shy, compliant.
Palate: Full and expansive. An immersion of flavour saturation and a textural continuum
across the palate. Mouth-coating sweet tannins and balanced acidity never confronted by any threat of new oak.
Black olive and chocolate notes resonate with an abundance of fruits and plum, prune,
blackberries, wild blueberrie.
Persistent length and flavour, finishing firm and assertive.
Peak Drinking: 2017 to 2032 .

A wine of great finesse, distinguished and elegant. The colour is pure and bright, with light glints of white gold.
The aromas evoke trees in bloom and white flesh fruit, like white peaches.
With age, the aromas evolve towards almond and lightly grilled dried fruit.
On the palate, there is a sensation of fresh silkiness.
Long and persistent in the aftertaste, ending on an exceptional wealth of flavours, both floral and fruity.
