Papercigno Curious
Dears wine lovers,
Today your Papercigno takes you on a journey to discover Bianchetta Trevigiana, one of the rarest grape varieties of the Treviso hills and of the entire world of native Venetian grape varieties.
You may not find it among large-scale productions or on the most predictable wine lists. And that is exactly where its charm lies.
Because today Bianchetta Trevigiana survives in just 13 hectares of vineyards. A tiny number that makes it a true treasure of Venetian viticulture.
What is Bianchetta Trevigiana?
Bianchetta Trevigiana It is an ancient native grape variety from the province of Treviso, cultivated for generations in the Venetian countryside.
For years, it has been part of the local agricultural history thanks to its natural freshness and its ability to create vibrant and authentic wines.
Then, slowly, many vineyards disappeared.
Today, only a few wineries still believe in this rare grape variety and continue to preserve it harvest after harvest.
And this is exactly where the value of Bianchetta Trevigiana lies: in its uniqueness.
Only 13 hectares cultivated: why Bianchetta Trevigiana is so rare
In the world of wine, we often hear about exclusivity. Bianchetta Trevigiana, however, truly is exclusive.
Today, there are only 13 hectares under cultivation.
This means that every bottle tells something precious: the desire to preserve an authentic piece of Venetian wine biodiversity.
In a wine world increasingly focused on international productions and large volumes, continuing to cultivate Bianchetta Trevigiana is almost an act of cultural resistance.
Among the wineries that continue to produce this rare wine is Le Manzane.
A small, identity-driven production of around 3,500 bottles per year.
And there is one detail that perfectly reflects the spirit of this wine: the completely white label featuring the faces of the family.
A choice that speaks of people, territory and memory.
Because Bianchetta Trevigiana was not created to follow trends, but to keep alive a tradition that could otherwise disappear.
What does Bianchetta Trevigiana taste like?
Bianchetta Trevigiana is one of those wines that surprises lovers of native grape varieties and niche productions.
In te glass we can find:
- natural fresh
- delicate flowers
