Canella Blood Orange Mimosa

Brilliant canary orange color. Blood orange aromas leap from the glass with the Prosecco offering subtle notes of apple, pear, and white flowers. The mouth has a great texture and energy with the tanginess of fresh oranges.

Producer Information
The Canella winery was founded in 1947 after World War II by Luciano Canella. Luciano’s parents owned a small, restaurant in San Donà di Piave. Luciano began to search the surrounding areas for the best wines to match his mother’s cuisine when he thought about creating his own wine. He put this idea into action and set up a state-of-theart winery specializing in Prosecco. Canella Prosecco became a phenomenal success. Throughout the decades that followed, Luciano focused on spreading the word about his winery and branding his wines to make them easily recognizable. However, the Canella family not only provides the world with fizz, fun, and freshness from Canella Proseccos; they have also become masters at blending those zesty bubbles with succulent fruit in delicious, colorful cocktails. In 1988 Luciano had the idea to be the first to bottle Bellini. Up until this point, real Bellini was only enjoyed in Venice where the ingredients were available. The challenge Luciano faced was how to bottle the cocktail while retaining its pristine, juicy freshness. It took some trial and error, but ultimately Luciano was triumphant and more than 25 years later, the Canella’s dream has come to fruition. Canella Bellini stands as a benchmark of freshness and a tribute to Venetian creativity and entrepreneurial spirit. With the success of Bellini, the Canella winery turned its attention to other cocktails including a vibrant Blood Orange Mimosa and delicately sweet Rossini.
