| On the hills
surrounding Conegliano, about 50 miles north of Venice, lies the
beautiful estate of Bellenda.
In 1987, Sergio Cosmo started this winery which is 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,
the family business is run by Umberto and Luigi Cosmo, who have a
passion
for making wine which marries tradition and innovation for the
production
of truly outstanding wines. Tasting Notes: A wonderful package, an even better sensory experience: rich, full, earthy dark cherry aromas and flavors. |
