The Prosecco di Valdobbiadene DOCG Extra Dry di Bellussi is produced from a selection of Glera grapes grown on the hills of Conegliano Valdobbiadene, the heart of the appellation, where the soils are clayey-calcareous. The vinification takes place with the Charmat method, i.e. a long Charmat method, i.e. a re-fermentation in autoclave with a longer stay on the yeasts compared to normal times, which gives the wine greater elegance and aromatic complexity, as well as finesse of the perlage. The residual sugar is between 12 and 14 g/L, a characteristic that makes this sparkling wine pleasantly soft and enhances its fruit. Bellussi has always been sensitive to the use of sulfites, which is why they use only about 50% of the permitted limit.
