Belstar Cuvee Rose

Details

Belstar is made by a family that can almost be considered to be the royal family of the Prosecco region – Bisol. A history of wine production stretching back five centuries, the family wine business took on its current form at the end of World War II and today Bisol produces some of the Prosecco region’s most highly regarded wines. Aside from the Bisol family’s premium “Cru” and “Millesimati” ranges of Prosecco (ranges from which some of those fine expressions of this region hail), Bisol have also been instrumental in popularising the wines of the region of Prosecco. Produced under the wider Prosecco DOC classification (rather than the more restrictive Valdobbiadene or Conegliano DOCG classifications) and in a non-vintage style, the aim is to produce a popular style of Prosecco that is consistent in taste and feel.

It has an aromatic bouquet, a fresh fruity flavour and a gentle mousse. Ripe red cherry fruit flavours, combine with creamy mousse to give a full-on, no prisoners taken style of fizz with an awful lot of character. It’s fruity flavours of pears and raspberries promise a mouthwatering, dry and crisp finish.
