The Prosecco DOC Extra Dry di Bellussi is produced from Glera grapes grown on the beautiful hills of Treviso, where the soils are clay-limestone. The vinification takes place with the Charmat method, traditional for the production of Prosecco, which involves a refermentation in autoclave at controlled temperature and pressure. The residual sugar is between 12 and 14 g/L, a characteristic that makes this sparkling wine pleasantly soft and accentuates its fruitiness. Bellussi has always been sensitive to the use of sulfites, which is why it uses only about 50% of the permitted limit.

PROSECCO DOC EXTRA DRY BELLUSSI: TASTING

The Prosecco DOC Extra Dry di Bellussi is intense straw yellow with lively bubbles. On the nose, it smells of apple, pear, jasmine, lime, and mint, and on the palate, it is pleasantly soft, with discreet freshness, a hint of savoriness, and a graceful effervescence. A perfect sparkler for a summer aperitif, even at lunchtime, perhaps with fried zucchini flowers and mozzarella in carrozza.
