Roman Grape, Classic Method, Modern Sparkle.
“Kori” Bellone Brut is where tradition meets innovation — a sparkling expression of Lazio’s native Bellone grape, transformed through the artistry of the Metodo Classico. Crafted by Cincinnato, a cooperative famed for reviving ancient varieties, this wine showcases how Italy’s volcanic soils and Mediterranean climate can produce bubbles of remarkable finesse.
Aged on the lees for many months, Kori reveals a bouquet of citrus blossom, white peach, and delicate pastry notes, underpinned by hints of minerality. The palate is vibrant and creamy, offering fine, persistent bubbles and flavours of apple, lemon zest, and a touch of almond. Its balanced Brut dosage brings a harmonious contrast between freshness and softness, ending with a clean, elegant finish.
For those in Ireland who appreciate refined sparkling wines, Cincinnato “Kori” Bellone Brut is a stunning discovery — a crisp, Italian spark that rivals Champagne for its quality, but with the warmth and soul of Lazio’s sunlit vineyards.
Why we love it:
Crisp and toasty with a Roman soul, Kori Brut shows what Metodo Classico can do with Italy’s ancient grapes. A true conversation starter — and a sparkling gem for Ireland’s curious wine lovers.
