The grape variety Bianchetta Trevigiana

Bianchetta Trevigiana is a rare white grape predominantly grown in the Veneto region of northeastern Italy, particularly within the provinces of Treviso and Vicenza. This variety is known for producing light-bodied wines with a delicate aromatic profile, often displaying subtle notes of green apple, white peach, and citrus, complemented by hints of fresh herbs and wildflowers. On the palate, Bianchetta Trevigiana offers a crisp acidity and refreshing minerality, resulting in a clean, lively finish.

Though it is most commonly used as a blending grape—especially in the production of Prosecco and still white wines—some vintners craft varietal expressions that highlight its gentle fruit character and understated elegance. The wines tend to be vibrant and approachable, making them ideal for casual sipping or as an aperitif.

Optimal food pairings for Bianchetta Trevigiana include fresh seafood, light pasta dishes, and vegetable risottos. Its zesty profile also complements spring salads, soft cheeses, and antipasti platters. The grape’s subtle complexity and brilliant acidity make it a versatile choice for pairing with a wide array of light, Mediterranean-inspired cuisine.
