Scoring 91 points from Eric Guido at Vinous and earning a Gold medal at The Global Masters, this 100% Glera bottling from the hills of Cornuda represents one of Asolo's most respected small-production Proseccos.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQuick Facts:\u003c\/strong\u003e ABV: 11%  |  Origin: Asolo, Veneto, Italy  |  Style: Prosecco DOCG Extra Dry  |  Producer: Bele Casel\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cu\u003eProduction \u0026amp; Heritage\u003c\/u\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBele Casel farms 12 hectares of certified organic vineyards in the Asolo DOCG, a prestigious sub-zone in the hills of Veneto that produces structurally richer Prosecco than the broader DOC. The Glera grapes for this bottling are sourced from hillside vineyards around Cornuda, then vinified using the Martinotti (Charmat) method in pressurized tanks at low temperatures with a fermentation cycle of 40 to 50 days — significantly longer than the industry minimum. This extended secondary fermentation encourages finer, more persistent bubbles and greater aromatic complexity, distinguishing Bele Casel from mass-produced alternatives.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cu\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/u\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAroma:\u003c\/strong\u003e The nose opens with intense ripe orchard fruit — golden apple and pear — before moving into delicate layers of grapefruit zest and exotic tropical fruit.

The mousse is fine and creamy, carrying the fruit through to a focused, slightly textured peak that avoids the hollow sweetness common in lesser Proseccos.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFinish:\u003c\/strong\u003e The finish is impressively long for Prosecco, with lingering floral and mineral notes and a refreshing grapefruit-pith dryness.

Bele Casel's extended 40–50 day Charmat fermentation produces a finer mousse and more layered aromatics than typical large-scale bottlings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs Bele Casel Prosecco good for sipping on its own?\u003c\/strong\u003e Absolutely — the mineral structure, fine bubbles, and complex orchard-fruit and floral profile make it a rewarding standalone aperitivo that does not rely on residual sugar for interest.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhere is Bele Casel Prosecco made?\u003c\/strong\u003e Bele Casel produces this wine from organically farmed Glera grapes grown on hillside vineyards in Cornuda, within the Asolo Prosecco DOCG in the Veneto region of northeastern Italy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat foods pair well with Bele Casel Prosecco?\u003c\/strong\u003e Prosciutto di San Daniele, where the wine's acidity cuts through the fat; fresh burrata with heirloom tomatoes for a textural contrast; seared scallops whose sweetness mirrors the pear notes; vegetable tempura, where the bubbles cleanse the palate between bites; and aged Parmigiano-Reggiano, which echoes the wine's mineral undertones.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat sizes does Bele Casel Prosecco come in?\u003c\/strong\u003e The standard offering is a 750ml bottle, which is the most widely available format for this wine.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs Bele Casel Prosecco worth the price?\u003c\/strong\u003e Positioned in the mid-premium tier for Prosecco, Bele Casel delivers organic certification, DOCG provenance, and critical scores (91 points Vinous) that exceed many bottles at higher price points, making it strong value within the quality sparkling category.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cu\u003eWhy Bele Casel Prosecco?\u003c\/u\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhat separates this wine from the crowded Prosecco market is the combination of certified organic farming in the hillside Asolo DOCG and an unusually long Charmat fermentation — 40 to 50 days versus the common 15 to 20 days used by industrial producers. That patience shows in the glass: a 91-point Vinous score and Gold at The Global Masters validate the textural refinement and aromatic depth. For anyone moving beyond entry-level sparkling wine and seeking a Prosecco with genuine terroir character, Bele Casel is one of Asolo's most compelling ambassadors.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Bele Casel","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44836757733545,"sku":"21314","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0680\/1024\/6313\/files\/bele_casel_prosecco__15421.jpg?v=1730469198"}],"url":"https:\/\/theliquorbarn.com\/collections\/bele-casel.oembed","provider":"The Liquor Barn","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
