The lineage of Bellone is traced back to Uva Pantastica, a grape lauded by Pliny in the Naturalis Historia for its exceptional quality.
Recognized for its vigor, Bellone earned the moniker Pagadebito (“pay-for-debit” in Italian), a term bestowed upon several high-yielding grape varieties in Italy.
Bellone thrives without the spur cordon system.
Capable of yielding both dry and sweet wines, Bellone’s versatility extends to producing wines of remarkable depth and complexity, especially when affected by noble rot. Its naturally high acidity also makes it suitable for crafting exceptional sparkling wines.

Indulge in the luscious texture and vibrant acidity of this wine, adorned with delightful notes of honeyed citrus and tropical fruits.
When crafted from late-harvested grapes, the resulting sweet wine unveils a thick, unctuous texture, boasting astonishing complexity without ever becoming cloying, thanks to its elevated acidity.
However, its high natural acidity also renders it prone to oxidation.
