| Caractéristiques du vin obtenu à partir de ce cépage |
Bellone is more and more vinified in purity thanks to the good structure and scent of its wines. These are straw yellow with beautiful golden veins. The olfactory range is very fresh, with fruity fruity notes ripe to grapefruit and peach, mild with honey and almonds. The palate is well present and full with a high alcoholic strength and a bitter closure. |
| Notes |
It is a young wine drink, within two years, with classic Roman cuisine such as soups with beans or herbs flavored risotto. The match with the unleavened Roman pecorino is unavoidable, but it is also great with sliced loaves of appetizers and laurel fish, especially in classic Frying version of Lazio. It can compete with Kabinet production. |
