Tasting Notes

What is Prosecco Col Fondo? The term translates to "with its bottom," meaning the wine is bottled with lees, completing fermentation in the bottle. This results in a nicely cloudy wine with crisp flavour and a delicate effervescence. The wine has a delicious, mouth-filling texture, best described as a gentle foam rather than a mousse. Its packed with notes of nashi pears and fresh, bready aromas, with a touch of savoury elements reminiscent of honey on toast, fennel, and a subtle salty finish.

FROM THE PRESS

“I could drink this! Light and fresh, very clean.”
Jancis Robinson MW, jancisrobinson.com
“The stunning 2021 Bele Casel Col Fondo is racy and floral, offering enticing aromas of hawthorn, field flower, botanical herb and citrus underpinned by a yeasty not of bread dough. Bone-dry and loaded with flavour and intensity, the vibrant, savoury palate delivers ripe Bartlett pair, white peach, tangerine, graphite and saline mineral notes alongside crisp acidity. Tiny, persistent bubbles create an elegant backdrop. Drink through 2029”
94 points - Kerin O'Keefe
“Bright and lively, this is a pretty and enjoyable sparkling with lots of character. It's concentrated in flavour, with plenty of fresh fruit: white peach flesh, pear, Golden Delicious apples, persimmon and lemon rind. Mouthfilling, plump even, the mousse is fine and soft. The finish is laced with touches of blossom and a subtly biscuity character. This producer helped to create the ColFondo Agricolo label, an association which promotes an ancient method of making sparkling wine in the region. This involves secondary fermentation in bottle and no disgorgement, leaving the wine in contact with its lees in the bottle for at least a year before release, and using the Glera grape variety as well as a number of native ones.”
Natalie Earl, Decanter
