CDV was founded in 2010, when a group of friends led by Angela Sini asks Christian Bellei to join them in the creation of a new, ambitious project: the production of fine Lambruscos through the use of the “Metodo Classico”
• Christian Bellei is a 4th generation winemaker, and he joined the CDV team by providing the perfect setting for the new venture: the winery used by his great-grand father Francesco Bellei in 1920
• Christian received his formal winemaker education from his father Giuseppe, who travelled with him to Epernay numerous times, to learn the secrets of Champagne production
• Together with his father, Christian came to master the “Metodo Classico” technique, and has learnt to successfully apply it to the Lambrusco grapes.
• Christian’s knowledge and skills are at the core of Cantina della Volta’s production: all wines carry his unmistakable signature and unique style
