Bellafina is a toast to Italian lifestyle. Produced in a lightly sparkling (Frizzante) and easy drinking style, the Bellafina wines are a perfect accompaniment to any cuisine, celebration or occasion. The name “Bellafina” is a union between two lovely Italian words - “bella” meaning beautiful and “fina” referring to fine, or delicate.
The earliest documentation of a “Chianti wine” dates back to the 13th century when viticulture was known to flourish in the “Chianti Mountains” around Florence. Today, the Chianti region covers a vast area of Tuscany and includes within its boundaries several overlapping Denominazionedi Origine Controllata (DOC) and Denominazione di Origine Controllatae Garantita (DOCG) regions. In the late 20th century, the region experienced a renaissance with producers using selective Sangiovese clones, new viticultural practices and more “modern” cellar techniques.
Salento peninsula is located within the Puglia region, in the southeastern part of Italy. It is sometimes referred to as “The Florence of the South” with its impressive baroque monuments, built from the distinctive, ‘Lecce Stone’, and sits between two beautiful coastlines of milesuntouched beaches, spectacular cliffs and rocky coves. This, together with superb weather, beautiful vineyards and state-of-the-art winemaking, creates the Doppio Passo Primitivo Salento IGT

The origins of the carousel featured on the label originate from medieval riding fairs in the north of Italy. These elaborate equestrian ballets took place in royal courts and featured lavishly decorated horses and highly skilled riders performing synchronized formations. Popularity led builders to replicate them by designing rotating platforms with mounted wooden horses for children to ride. The carousel has been the centerpiece of La Fiera, The Fair, for centuries. La Fiera produces excellent value Pinot Grigio, Montepulciano, Primitivo, Soave and Moscato.
The Salento area is characterized by calcareous and clayed terroirs, rich of iron (which provides the typical redish colour) and with a high drainage capacity during winter time, when rainfalls are usually scarce. The rain is gathered beneath the ground; during the warm and sunny season, the roots reach the deepest layers of the ground, collecting the most precious substances, mainly microelements, increasing and enhancing all the grapes components that are later found in the wines. This area is located between the Adriatic Sea and Ionic Sea, where the blowing sea breeze allows for a thermal excursion which is crucial for the perfect ripening of the grapes. Another feature of these territories is the natural presence of rocks, that significantly increase the amount of minerals giving sapidity and freshness to wines, despite the high alcoholic content. The large presence of rocks and minerals is evidenced by the presence of dry stone walls that enclose the vineyards. These walls are made with the largest stones of the area and have been built by the local population without the help of mortars, relying on the millennial experience and tradition handed down by the old generations
