THE SYMBIOSIS
BIANCO VENISSA 2016
A GREAT VINTAGE
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.
The concept of balance is at the core not just of our vision of viticulture, but of any human endeavour that has taken place in the Venetian lagoon through the centuries. The lagoon and its fragile ecosystem demand balance, foresight, and ingenuity in order to live harmoniously with its most critical natural element – water – and succeed in managing its impact while also preserving its positive influence on the local environment.
Balance, too, is what the 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, of its biodiversity, and its natural and cultural traditions.
BIANCO VENISSA 2016
Gold in color, the nose exhibits aromas of yellow fruits, chamomille hints of dried citrus peels. The palate is well-structured, filling and fresh with a velvety texture. Notes of honey, walnuts and licorice appears in its dry, savoury and persistent finish. Venissa is a great collector’s white wine with a long-life expectancy.
