About This Wine
Bianca Vigna was founded by Elena and Enrico Moschetta in 2004 when two families with the same passion for quality wines and good food joined together: the Moschetta’s (wine’s producers in San Gallo since 1903) and the Cuzziol’s (agro food merchants since 1920).
Bianca Vigna is situated in the heart of the Prosecco area which has been recently nominated as a UNESCO heritage site. It manages 12 ha of vineyards located in 3 different areas: Conegliano, Pieve di Soligo and Felettano close to Valdobbiadene. Each vineyard contributes its own unique character, structure and minerality to the finished wines.
Fruit is sourced from vines in San Pietro di Feletto and Soligo, where the vines are planted in clay/chalky soils. Following the hand harvest, the grapes are gently pressed and left to settle prior to a carefully controlled fermentation in stainless steel vats. Re-fermentation is via the Charmat method in stainless steel tanks (closed under pressure) at programmed temperatures and with selected yeasts for a minimum of 60 days. The dosage is 12 gms/L with a natural acidity of 7 gms/L = dry!100% Glera or Prosecco grapes. Fragrance of apple and white nectarine, mouthwatering fresh apple and pear on the palate with a wonderful creamy finish. Brilliant as an aperitivo with antipasti fresh asparagus frittata, grilled octopus and Prosciutto Crudo with fresh figs. 11% alc.

Venetian Wine
Veneto is in North Eastern Italy and is a high producing, multi-faceted wine region that does several different wine varieties well.
In whites you have the indigenous grape, Garganega, which is the main grape in Soave wines. Today you can find great value Soave wine but also producers focussing on low yield, high quality winemaking in the original Soave zone called Soave Classico. Wines made here are complex, exhibiting flavours such as ripe pear, yellow peach, melon or orange zest and have smoky and floral aromas with a fresh mineral finish. Much of Italy’s famous crisp and refreshing Pinot Grigio also comes from this region.
In red wines, Valpolicella is the most notable. This uniquely Italian wine is made from a blend of Italian grapes, predominantly Corvina with a minority of Rondinella, Molinara, Corvinone and other indigenous varietals. Valpolicella is made in a wide variety of styles. On one hand, you have light-bodied wines resembling Beaujolais Nouveau with a sour cherry flavour, alcohol content often around 11%. On the other hand, you have full bodied Recioto (desert red wine) and Amarone (dry red) that reach 15-16% alcohol. Both of these heavier wine styles have achieved DOCG status. Amarone is rich and intense with flavour and aroma notes often compared with Port.
Prosecco which has been quite a popular sparkling wine variety in Australia in recent times also comes from the Veneto wine region.
