From Black to White IGP Bianco Veneto

    • Description :

      While inspecting some vineyards in 1999, Gaspari found an old Rondinella vine with a cane bearing some strange whitish clusters of grapes. He began experimenting to see if he could obtain Rondinella grapes that were completely white. After a few years, he was successful, and he now has a vineyard block with sound genetic material. It differs from the "black” Rondinella in that the leaves are a lighter color; it grows with medium vigor but it bears grapes that resemble the coppery tone typical of the Pinot Grigio grape.

      Grape varieties :

      60% Rondinella White, 15% Gold Traminer, 15% Kerner and 10% Incrocio (cross) Manzoni

      Altitude :

      100m -650m ASL

      Exposure :

      South/west

      Soil :

      Alluvial, volcanic and glacial

      Alcohol :

      13%

      Tasting notes :

      A yellow-flecked pale green; expansive bouquet, with hints of citrus and herbs such as mint; on the palate, complex and full-bodied with notable viscosity and an almost endless finish.
