Description:
On the hills surrounding Conegliano, about 50 miles north of Venice, lies the beautiful estate of Bellenda. In 1987, Sergio Cosmo started this winery located in the very heart of the prosecco producing region while also completely replacing the vine varieties on land he already owned. The Cosmo family also re-designed the layout of the vineyard, planting 80% of the grapes now used for Prosecco and other sparkling wines with the rest used for still wines. Today, Umberto and Luigi Cosmo run the family business. They have a passion for making wine which marries tradition and innovation for the production of truly outstanding wines. The wine is vinified in stainless steel and then by charmat method for two months and as a result Bellenda is clean, fresh and elegant, with delicate, persistent bubbles that enhance its subtle citrussy fruit, while its sharp, mineral-laden lemon flavors deliver.

Capezzana GHIAIE della FURBA Carmignano Toscana
Description: Deep dark red coloured wines with earthy nose, while the rich ripe fruit character dominates. Full-bodied, with big, velvety tannins and a long, finish this is a wine to savour. This wine was created by Capezzana in 1979 when Ugo and Vittorio Contini Bonacossi decided to create a wine in Carmignano with a Bordeaux blend of grape varieties. The first vineyard, made up of Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc and Merlot, was situated on the pebbly, alluvial soil of the Furba stream, after which the wine is named. In 1992 the St. Alessandro vineyard became productive and the wine's blend of grape varieties was modified. Furthermore in 1998 Syrah grapes added and today the wine is produced from a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon , Merlot and Syrah . Ghiaie della Furba is matured for a year in barriques and laid down for a further 12 months in bottles. (6 x 75 cl) Price: £149.50
