More informations about the variety Pinot blanc
Pinot Blanc is a grape variety that originated in Burgundy, mutated from Pinot Gris. Today, it is grown in Alsace where it is called klevner when blended with auxerrois. The continental climate, with its cold winters and hot summers, is particularly suited to pinot blanc. It is resistant to frost in winter and in summer, the roots draw the minerals it needs from the warm soil. Its bunches are made up of small berries with thick skins and melting pulp that produce fruity, spicy wines, balanced between acidity and alcohol. pinot blanc is also used for crémants and sparkling wines. Pinot Blanc is also used for Crémant and sparkling wines. It is widely grown in Italy, where it covers almost 7,000 hectares, and is also found in Germany, Austria, Canada and South Africa.
More informations about the region of Provence
Bellet is a small appellation for red, white and rosé wines from the hills around Nice, in the Provence region of southeastern France. Despite Provence's penchant for rosé, a balanced blend of all three colours is produced under the name Bellet. Nice's proximity to the Italian border - and thus to the western vineyards of Liguria and Piedmont - is reflected in the style of Bellet wines and particularly in the Grape varieties used in their production. Bellet's key white grape variety is Vermentino, a variety that originated in Liguria, but which now accounts for 60% of all Bellet white wine.
