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.
The traditional Provençal name for Vermentino is Rolle, but the recent rise of this grape has been under its Italian name, so that many producers (and even the appellation's legal documents) now call it Vermentino. The two main varieties used in Bellet's red and rosé wines, Braquet and Fuella Nera (aka Folle Noire or Jurancon Noir), also have a distinct Italian note. Some believe that Braquet is the same grape as Brachetto, a common grape in Piedmont, while Fuella Nera is actually Folle Noire hiding under an Italian synonym. The name Provence is another link to the Italian link, being a modern, shortened form of Provincia Nostra.

Its berries are spherical-ellipsoid in shape. They are attached to short pedicels that are warty and strong. The skin is dark black and has a strong bloom. This variety has an average budding time and is hardy, vigorous and fertile. It gives a regular production, but it must be pruned short so that it does not quickly become exhausted. It fears grey rot, mildew, drought and grape worms. Jurançon Noir makes common, slightly alcoholic and lightly colored wines. Vinified as a rosé, it produces fruity and lively wines.
