Bellussi Belcanto Extra Dry Valdobbiadene Prosecco Superiore DOCG

Tasting Note:

The Bellussi Belcanto Extra Dry Valdobbiadene Prosecco Superiore DOCG is a delightful sparkling wine showcasing the classic characteristics of Prosecco with a touch more richness.

• Appearance: Expect a pale straw yellow color with a persistent stream of tiny bubbles rising in the glass, forming a beautiful “corona.”
• Aroma: On the nose, you’ll find a bouquet of fresh orchard fruits like pear and apple, often accompanied by citrus hints like lemon or lime. Some tasters also detect floral notes like white flowers or honeysuckle.
• Palate: This Prosecco Superiore has a light to medium body compared to regular Prosecco. It offers a lively and refreshing effervescence with a balanced acidity that keeps the wine feeling crisp and clean. The flavors tend to mirror the aromas, with pear and apple at the forefront, sometimes joined by hints of honey or white peach. The extra dry designation indicates a touch more residual sugar than Brut styles, offering a subtle sweetness that complements the fruitiness. The finish is pleasant and lingering, often leaving a refreshing citrusy or apple-like impression.

Overall, the Bellussi Belcanto Extra Dry Valdobbiadene Prosecco Superiore DOCG is a delicious and food-friendly sparkling wine. Its balanced sweetness, lively acidity, and refreshing fruit flavors make it perfect as an aperitif, for celebrations, or alongside a variety of dishes.
