What kind of wine is Spumante Metodo Classico Brut Rosé - Francesco Bellei?

The Spumante Metodo Classico Brut Rosé - Francesco Bellei is produced in the heart of Emilia, an area historically linked to the tradition of quality sparkling wine production. It is made according to the Classic Method, the same one used for Champagne, which involves a second fermentation in the bottle. This process results in a fine and persistent perlage, a complex aromatic profile, and an elegant freshness, all distinctive characteristics of the best Italian sparkling wines.

Vintage details

Each vintage reflects the climatic conditions of the year. The grapes used, sourced from selected white and black grape varieties, ripen evenly thanks to the temperate and breezy climate of the Modena area. These conditions favor perfect sugar and acid ripening, ideal for the production of fragrant and balanced Classic Method sparkling wines.

Winemaking and aging

The grapes are vinified "in white," meaning without prolonged contact with the skins, to preserve the delicacy of the color and the elegance of the bouquet. The second fermentation takes place in the bottle, where the sparkling wine ages on its lees for at least 18 months. This resting period imparts aromatic complexity, creaminess on the palate, and fine, silky bubbles, elements that define Francesco Bellei's authentic style.
