Product details
The 2016 vintage of Venissa Bianco stands out for its perfect balance, due to the excellent weather conditions we had through the growing cycle. The result is a wine of great personality, elegance, and refinement.
Balance is what Dorona has found within the Venissa estate on Mazzorbo Island. A condition that’s born from the resilience of this native, semi-extinct grape variety in adapting to the extraordinary environmental conditions of these waterlands, eventually achieving a state of perfect symbiosis with its terroir of origin.
The wine that this unique combination produces is truly one of a kind—a quintessential expression of Native Venice, its biodiversity, and its natural and cultural traditions.
Gold in color, the nose exhibits aromas of yellow fruits and chamomille hints of dried citrus peels. The palate is well-structured, filling, and fresh, with a velvety texture. Notes of honey, walnuts, and licorice appear in its dry, savory, and persistent finish. Venissa is a great collector’s white wine with a long life expectancy.
