Bacen Metodo Classico Blanc de Noirs - Soc. Agr. Tiziano Bellini

Bacen takes its name from the ancient dialect name of the majestic drainage pumping station located between San Matteo and Sabbioni, where the winery is now located. It is a Metodo Classico Blanc de Noirs Pas Dosé sparkling wine made exclusively from hand-picked Pinot Noir grapes from the estate's vineyards, an expression of the continuous pursuit of excellence and passion for sparkling wine. Vinification involves soft pressing of the grapes and fermentation at a controlled temperature of 19°C. The secondary fermentation takes place according to the Metodo Classico, with the wine aging in the bottle on the lees for at least 18 months before disgorgement, followed by an additional 6 months of bottle ageing. In the glass, it displays a bright straw yellow color and a very fine and persistent perlage. On the nose, delicate aromas of wildflowers and roses intertwine with fresh citrus notes of blood orange and grapefruit zest. As it ages, elegant notes of almond, dried fruit, and subtle nuances of tobacco emerge. On the palate, Bacen captivates with its refined structure, balance, and extraordinary minerality that extends to a long, clean, and persistent finish. A sparkling wine with great personality, ideal as an aperitif and perfect with raw fish, shellfish, tartare, sushi, oysters, and medium-aged cheeses.

Cellar: Soc. Agr. Tiziano Bellini

Società Agricola Tiziano Bellini is located in the heart of the Province of Mantua, in a distinctive strip of land bordering the Oglio Natural Park and stretching between the Po River, San Matteo, Sabbioni and the municipality of Viadana, continuing towards the vineyard-covered valley near Sabbioneta. This unique environment benefits from a terroir ideally suited to viticulture and a climate influenced by both Mediterranean and Oceanic conditions, featuring cold winters, bright sunny summers, and mild transitional seasons. From the very beginning, the Bellini family’s winemaking project focused on enhancing the value of the area’s traditional grape varieties, particularly Ancellotta and Grappello Ruberti, which best express the identity and winemaking heritage of this part of Lombardy. Driven by a passion for sparkling wines, the family later invested in Chardonnay and Pinot Noir vineyards, varieties that have adapted exceptionally well to the local soil and climate, producing elegant sparkling wines with distinctive character. “My sister Patrizia and I share our passion for life through our wines,” explains Tiziano Bellini. “The spirit of the winemaker was rekindled within me and turned into a genuine passion after a professional career in mathematical and statistical research.” The pursuit of excellence inspires every step taken by Società Agricola Tiziano Bellini. The winery combines the precision and analytical approach of scientific research with the craftsmanship, dedication and attention to detail required in both the vineyard and the cellar. This balance results in authentic wines that reflect the character of the Mantuan territory and the vision of a family committed to quality, innovation and respect for nature.
