Deep golden yellow. Flowers, hints of hazelnut, cider, green tea, quince, mineral notes. Sour, citrusy, slightly savory.

Because of the Bellone grape's ability to be able to produce both dry and sweet wines, Nzù, which means "together" in the local dialect, is produced. The grape variety was already known in ancient Rome, and winemaking techniques are also ancient; the grapes are fermented and aged in very large terracotta amphorae, always in contact with the fine lees, before being bottled and left to rest for a year.

Per la capacità dell'uva di Bellone di poter produrre sia vini secchi che dolci, viene prodotto il Nzù, che in dialetto locale significa "insieme". Il vitigno era già conosciuto nell'antica Roma e anche le tecniche di vinificazione sono antiche, l'uva viene fatta fermentare e affinare in anfore di terracotta molto grandi, sempre a contatto con le fecce fini, prima di essere imbottigliato e lasciato riposare per un anno.

The Nero Buono grape variety takes its name from grapes that have a very dark color. It grows mainly near Cori, southeast of Rome, an area with ideal characteristics; the vineyards are planted on volcanic soil at an altitude of 500 meters. The vine almost disappeared, has been recovered and "Kius" is the result of long experimentation, which makes this sparkling wine the only one produced with Nero Buono grapes.

Greco Moro is used almost exclusively by Marco Carpineti for wine production and owes its name to the very dark color of the berries when ripe. The grape has low yields, is very susceptible to disease, and also because of the very compact cluster is easily attacked by botrytis, which can overwhelm it in a very short time, especially in the fall on wetter days.

The Bellone vine was known as early as Roman times, and was described by Pliny. Almost forgotten in the 20th century, it currently has very limited cultivation. Kius Brut, vinified with the Metodo Classico, is the only sparkling wine made from Bellone, due to the ability of these grapes to adapt very well to the production of both dry and sweet wines.

Faint straw yellow. Fruit, Mediterranean scrub. Balanced, mineral, persistent.

Bellone grows almost exclusively in the countryside of Cori, southeast of Rome, on volcanic soil, the most suitable for this grape variety. During the 20th century, Bellone was almost forgotten by farmers because of its low productivity, and currently the production of monovarietal wines is difficult because of the limited number of plants and growing together with other varieties. A grape variety already known in ancient Rome, it was described by Pliny and then called Uva Pantastica or Uva Pane. It is a vigorous vine, growing fast and sprouting early, and should be kept under control because of its tendency to produce many leaves and small clusters. Because of its high susceptibility to botrytis cinerea, producers must pick the clusters as soon as the mold covers them.

The Nero Buono grape variety owes its name to the dark color of the grapes, is found mainly in the area of Cori, southeast of Rome, and according to legend was brought here by the Roman statesman Cincinnatus in the fifth century B.C. The vineyards stand at an altitude of 500 meters on volcanic soil, factors that allow optimal growth of the plants, even of different biotypes. Production of Nero Buono is highly variable because the plants grow constantly, and growers must manage the vineyards by removing leaves five times a year.
