Kosher Wines from Italy

Founded more than 20 years ago by the Cosmo family, the Bellenda Winery has emerged as one of Italy’s top producers of quality Sparkling wines. Located North of Venice in the Vittoria Veneto region of Northeast Italy, the Cosmo family have been growing their own grapes for generations in the foothills of the Alps at an elevation of about 300 meters. The wine is made from Prosecco grapes grown on the hillsides of Conegliano and Valdobbiadene. Unlike most Proseccos which undergo one and a half months of initial fermentation in stainless steel tanks, this kosher production spent nine months in tanks resting on their lees yielding a much toastier, fruitier palate. This smooth, delicate and highly refined sparkling wine has a characteristically fruity, floral bouquet and displays an abundance of evanescent bubbles against a luminous, brilliant backdrop. It is excellent as an aperitif, but also works very well as an accompaniment to poultry, light, white fish dishes, pastries and fruit-based desserts.
