Our Riserva Blanc de Noirs is made from hillslope-grown Pinot Noir grapes and produced in the same style we developed in Bellenda’s very first years. The hillslope-grown Pinot Noir grapes provide its distinctive firm structure and silky smoothness. It is produced in the same style we developed in Bellenda’s very first years, maturing over many years at a constant temperature of 13°C. in our underground cellars. In the flute, it appears a luminous, shimmering gold and develops a long-lingering bead of tiny, pin-point bubbles. The bouquet boasts fresh-baked pastry and toasted hazelnut, lifted by hints of vanilla, citrus, and lemongrass. The palate is elegant and multi-layered, with a magisterial balance between clean fruit and a tangy minerality.
Pluck is ideal throughout the meal, in particular with full-flavored dishes, such as baked fish, and roasted poultry, veal, or game. It is delicious too with spaghetti alla carbonara or bucatini alla gricia. It will develop further complexity during the three years after disgorging. If well-stored, it will gain even more richness on nose and palate over the following five years.
