Metodo classico Blanc de Noirs Brut Nature

Our Riserva Blanc de Noirs is made from hillslope-grown Pinot Noir grapes, which 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.

ORIGIN OF THE NAME: Plucking is the erosive glacial action responsible for the creation and transport of large individual blocks of bedrock. This occurs in so-called “valley glaciers,” such as those that covered the hills lying in the Treviso piedmont some 100,000 years ago. These large boulders are found in great numbers over our hills and are a prominent feature of the landscape. 

VINEYARD: The vineyards are planted at a density of about 5,000 vines per hectare and are trained to the Guyot system. They grow in mixed limestone-clay soils, with a rocky texture that gives the wines their tangy minerality. The climate is mild, with cold winters, warm summers, excellent ventilation, and significant day-night temperature differentials. The grapes are harvested exclusively by hand between late August and early September.

VINIFICATION: The clusters are de-stemmed and the berries gently pressed. After the must is gravity-settled, it is fermented at 18-20°C in stainless steel tanks, then the wine matures sur lie. It undergoes a secondary fermentation in the bottle and rests 100 months in the cellar, after which it is disgorged and topped up with the same wine, without an added dosage.

GLASS AND SERVICE: Serve at 6-8°C in a generous-sized flute.

FOOD PAIRING AND WHEN TO ENJOY: 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.
