About the Bellini
The Bellini is a classic Italian sparkling cocktail combining white peach purée with Prosecco. Created in Venice, it is known for its delicate fruit character, soft texture and pale peach color. The peach provides natural sweetness and aroma, while the sparkling wine adds acidity, dryness and carbonation. Simple in structure but highly dependent on ingredient quality, the Bellini is an elegant choice for brunch, celebrations or light aperitif drinking.
What does a Bellini taste like?
A Bellini tastes soft, fruity and gently sweet, with ripe peach flavor at the center. Prosecco adds crispness, acidity and lively bubbles, preventing the fruit purée from feeling heavy. The overall profile is delicate rather than strongly alcoholic.
Tips for making a Bellini
Use chilled peach purée and well-chilled Prosecco. Add the sparkling wine slowly to prevent excessive foaming and stir very gently so the purée is evenly distributed without losing carbonation. The quality and ripeness of the peach have a major influence on the finished drink.
