Histoire du domaine
Le Clos Saint-Vincent belongs to the historic Nice vineyards of Bellet, which gained Appellation d'Origine Contrôlée status in 1941. In the spring of 1993, the Sicardi and Sergi families acquired the dormant property and set about reviving it. Roland Sicardi and Joseph "Gio" Sergi are recognized as the driving forces behind this revival. The vineyard was gradually expanded to ten hectares, spread across the appellation's three hills: Crémat, Saint-Roman-de-Bellet, and Saquier. The estate first adopted organic farming, followed by biodynamics, in order to work without synthetic chemicals and preserve its siliceous-limestone soils mixing puddinestone and rolled pebbles. Today, Gio Sergi continues this work alongside his son Julien, focusing in particular on the local grape varieties Rolle, Braquet, and Folle Noire.
Le Clos
“Le Clos” is a cuvée from Clos Saint-Vincent, documented in red, white, and rosé under the AOP Bellet. The red is presented as a blend dominated by Folle Noire, complemented by Grenache, aged in French oak barrels. This cuvée stands out from the more exclusive Vino di Gio selection.
- Style of the cuvée
- Depending on the color, Bellet wines aged in wood, aiming for maturity, freshness, and the expression of the poudingue terroir. The red presents a structured and powerful profile, tempered by a marked freshness.
- Position within the range
- The estate's main cuvée, positioned below the more exclusive Vino di Gio selections.

The cuvée has been attested under the name “Le Clos” at least since the 2005 vintage. It belongs to the range of the estate acquired by the Sicardi and Sergi families in 1993, but its exact creation date is not documented in the sources consulted.
