Vino Spumante di Qualità Metodo Classico Brut Christian Bellei 2017 Cantina della Volta

Christian Bellei is a White Quality Sparkling Wine Brut Metodo Classico produced by Cantina della Volta, made from the pure vinification of the free-run juice obtained from hand-selected grapes grown in vineyards near the Secchia river. This sparkling wine elegantly interprets the Emilia region, standing out for its finesse, balance, and a long maturation on the lees, which enhances its complexity and character.

The production involves gentle pressing of the grapes, exclusively using the free-run juice, followed by clarification, alcoholic fermentation, and aging in stainless steel tanks at controlled temperature. The wine is then prepared for secondary fermentation with the addition of selected yeasts and referments in the bottle according to the Metodo Classico. Maturation on the lees lasts at least 72 months before disgorgement and the addition of the liqueur d'expédition, giving the wine great aromatic depth and refinement.

In the glass it shows a brilliant golden yellow color and a fine, persistent perlage. The bouquet reveals elegant floral notes accompanied by hints of fresh fruit, citrus, and delicate reminders of small red fruits. On the palate it is fresh, harmonious, and direct, supported by lively acidity, pleasant sapidity, and a long, clean, and balanced finish.

It is ideal as an aperitif and pairs elegantly with seafood appetizers, raw fish, shellfish, oysters, delicate first courses, risottos, white meats, and fresh cheeses.
