The first bottle of wine produced by Bello Winery dates back to 1977 and then, after several decades of experience, gave rise to the actual founding of the Cantina itself, which officially took place in 1994. The Winery is located in a hamlet of Durrës, Perlat, located in a hilly area 2 km away from the sea that serves as a bridge between the coast and the mountainous area. Bello Winery's vines are all certified by the Rauscedo Cooperative Nurseries (VCR), a cutting-edge, industry-leading winery. The vines are selected and planted after careful analysis of the soil, which, thanks to the geographical location and the wind favored by the sea, requires a minimum amount of phytosanitary treatment. The area planted with vines is about 8 to 10 hectares. The grape varieties present in Bello Winery are:- Shesh i Bardhë (native Albanian grape variety)- Merlot- Carmenere- Cabernet Sauvignon- Touriga Nacional- Malbec.A very relevant peculiarity of the winery concerns fermentation, as all fermentations take place using the "Metodo Ganimede": it is a method imported from Italy and unique in its kind, used in Albania only by Cantina Bello.
