Serafino's Bellissimo range has always been shaped by the winery's Italian heritage — a collection built around varieties that feel at home in McLaren Vale's warm, expressive climate. The 2025 Bellissimo Nebbiolo continues that story: a medium-weighted, textural red that brings the floral elegance and savoury complexity of Nebbiolo into a genuinely approachable and food-friendly expression. Fragrant and layered on the nose, juicy and structured on the palate, with fine velvety tannins that make it as persuasive alongside the dinner table as it is on its own.
Tasting Notes
Nose: Lifted and aromatic — juicy cherries, red berries and black olive are framed by rose petal, spice and fresh floral character. A classic Nebbiolo perfume with real presence.
Palate: Medium-weighted and textural, with juicy cherry fruit at the core. The mid-palate is full and engaging, with the complexity the producer describes as built for consumption with food. Fine velvety tannins provide structure without austerity.
Finish: Fine and persistent, with red fruit, floral and spice character carrying through to a clean, mineral close.
McLaren Vale & Serafino
Serafino Wines has been a significant producer in McLaren Vale since the Maglieri family established the estate, drawing on deep Italian roots to shape a wine style that blends South Australian fruit character with Italian variety focus. The Bellissimo range — meaning beautiful in Italian — is the most direct expression of that heritage: wines crafted to be enjoyed with food, family and friends. Nebbiolo, one of Italy's most celebrated red varieties, finds a natural home in McLaren Vale's warm, clay-rich soils, producing wines that balance ripe, expressive fruit with the structural precision the variety is known for.
