Bianchetta Trevigiana is a lesser-known yet intriguing white grape variety, primarily cultivated in the Veneto region of northeastern Italy, especially within the Treviso province. This grape is traditionally used as a blending component, most notably in the production of Prosecco wines, where it brings elegance and freshness.
The aromatic profile of Bianchetta Trevigiana is marked by delicate floral nuances, subtle notes of green apple, white peach, and a hint of citrus zest. On the palate, it delivers a light to medium body, with refreshing acidity that enhances its lively character. The finish is typically clean, with lingering impressions of orchard fruits and a gentle minerality.
Wines made from Bianchetta Trevigiana are often vinified in a crisp, dry style, though they may also contribute to lightly sparkling or frizzante wines. These styles accentuate the grape’s natural freshness and delicate fruit expression.
When it comes to food pairing, Bianchetta Trevigiana's lightness and vibrant acidity make it an excellent companion for seafood, especially grilled prawns or calamari. It also pairs elegantly with fresh goat’s cheese, vegetable risottos, and light pasta dishes, making it a versatile choice for refined, Mediterranean cuisine.
