Bellenda Sei Uno DOCG Prosecco Superiore Extra Brut 2021

This vibrant sparkler has inviting aromas of white stone fruit, rosemaey and hazelnuts. The clean, crisp palate is full of flavors of yellow apple, white peach, lemon drop and hazelnuts on the continuous finish. 

This Conegliano Valdobbiadene Prosecco Superiore DOCG Rive di Carpesica 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. The bouquet releases rich notes of rennet apple and freshly-shelled hazelnut, enlivened by rosemary and mint. On the palate, it is clean-edged and ultra-crisp, like the first bite into an apple, mirroring the fragrances of the bouquet, while the finish is very long-lived.

VINIFICATION: After the clusters are de-stemmed and the grapes gently pressed, the must is gravity-settled then fermented at 18-20°C. The wine matures sur lie, then the wine re-ferments in the bottle over 12 months. After disgorging it is topped up with the same wine, then given a further 6 months’ ageing before release.
