Zero Dosage. Pure Expression. Roman Elegance.
Refined, distinctive, and deeply rooted in its volcanic homeland, Cincinnato “Kori” Bellone Pas Dosé is Lazio’s answer to the world’s finest sparkling wines. Crafted entirely from the native Bellone grape and made using the Metodo Classico — the traditional Champagne method — Kori reveals how this ancient variety can express both elegance and authenticity in a single glass.
After a long, slow fermentation on the lees, this Pas Dosé (zero dosage) cuvée emerges with remarkable purity and complexity. Pale gold in colour, it opens with delicate aromas of white flowers, citrus peel, and hints of freshly baked bread. On the palate, it’s taut and mineral, driven by crisp acidity and fine, persistent bubbles. The absence of added sugar highlights the Bellone’s natural character — bright, clean, and gently saline, echoing the sea breezes that sweep across Lazio’s hills.
For sparkling wine enthusiasts in Ireland, Kori offers an Italian twist on sophistication — a dry, elegant fizz that pairs beautifully with seafood, oysters, or any special occasion that calls for a toast to authenticity.
Why we love it:
We love Cincinnato “Kori” for its precision and honesty. The Bellone grape, so often associated with sunlit still wines, finds a new voice here — crisp, complex, and alive with volcanic minerality. It’s Lazio’s terroir bottled with finesse, a true alternative for those who seek character beyond Champagne.
