'Giorgio' Ancellotta Red

Lombardia, Italy

‘Giorgio’ is named in honour of Tiziano Bellini’s father, whose meticulous precision and unwavering passion continue to inspire the estate today. Produced exclusively from hand-harvested Ancellotta grown in the sandy soils of Sabbioni, the grapes undergo a prolonged period of appassimento before an extended maceration, revealing the extraordinary depth and refinement of this often-overlooked variety. Aromas of black cherry, wild berries and liquorice are layered with notes of white pepper, coffee, tobacco and sweet spice. The palate is velvety and intensely structured, balanced by vibrant freshness and a long, mineral finish. An ideal companion to braised meats, aged cheeses or slow-cooked game dishes. A compelling and distinctive expression of one of Lombardy’s hidden viticultural treasures.

The Producer

The Tiziano Bellini estate lies in Sabbioni, in the province of Mantua, where the bends of the Po River have shaped a singular landscape of sandy-loam soils long suited to viticulture. What began as a family passion has evolved into one of Lombardy’s most distinctive small estates, producing handcrafted wines with spontaneous fermentations and a profound respect for both tradition and terroir. Here, the focus is not on following regional convention but on capturing the unique character of this overlooked corner of northern Italy.

The wines are defined by their freshness, aromatic precision and remarkable sapidity, a reflection of the estate’s unusual soils and gentle approach in both vineyard and cellar. From vibrant sparkling wines to characterful still bottlings, Tiziano Bellini’s range speaks quietly but confidently of place. Authentic, expressive and uncompromisingly individual, these are wines that reward curiosity and offer a compelling glimpse into one of Lombardy’s hidden viticultural treasures.
