Bellenda Cosi è/Col Fondo 2022 – Conegliano Valdobbiadene

(unfiltered) The wine has a pale lemon yellow color, slightly cloudy. On the nose, we find the excessively yeasty notes characteristic of the Col Fondo method – of toasted bread, fresh yeast and especially fresh brioche, with a touch of honey and wax, which appear after aeration. The fruity aromas on the nose are rich and fresh at the same time. The wine expresses in particular notes of juicy apricot, green apple, yellow lemon, white peach and candied lemon. The palate is fruity and juicy, with sharp acidity and good grapefruit bitterness. The flavors reflect the aromas (yellow lemon, green apple, tangy apricot, candied lemon), but we also find floral scents of lemon blossom, honeysuckle, the tangy flavors of citrus fruits, which appear at the end of the mouth (citron, a smoky touch of bergamot), and a distinguished minerality from the clay-limestone soil, rich in moraine components from the old glacier. The finish is persistent, chiselled and straight. The bubbles are fine and silky.
