Resistenti Nicola Biasi

It is not new that climate change is directly impacting agriculture and vine cultivation in particular, pushing many wineries to find new areas at higher altitudes or to introduce new varieties to cultivate.
Nicola Biasi is an oenologist with a first-rate international experience who has started an experimental project aimed at recovering areas to be cultivated that today are destined to other crops but were previously dedicated to vines by planting a so-called “resistant” vine almost unknown in Italy and only recently authorized to be cultivated between Trentino and Veneto.
Vin de la Neu, produced for the first time in 2013 in just 300 bottles, is one of the symbols of modern viticulture, where a high technical and professional content blends with attention to the territory and maximum environmental sustainability.
Only one thousand square meters are dedicated to this vineyard planted at 832 meters above sea level in the municipality of Coredo, Val di Non: 0.1 hectares planted with Johanniter grapes, a white variety created in 1968 in Germany as a crossing between several vines, among them Riesling, Chasselas and Pinot Grigio, planted with a very high density sapling and in complete absence of fungicide or herbicide treatments.
Having arrived to date with a few years of experience, we begin to see very interesting results, for the benefit of science, the wine world as well as the consumer market. The continuous study of “resistant” varieties seems to be one of the few ways left to ensure that viticulture too bears the emblem of environmental sustainability and that, together with the tendency to cultivate at ever higher altitudes, it continues to create wines with a strong personality.
The theme of environmental sustainability now goes beyond proposing high quality wines, a well-established requirement: therefore, the efforts made in person by those who have always known and lived the world of wine, such as Nicola Biasi, should be appreciated and considered as they are able to perfectly understand the identity and potential of the territory that these wines represent.
As Winefully, we are proud to support the ambitious Vin de la Neu project by contributing in our own way to the development of Nicola Biasi’s experiment by offering both the classic format and the very rare Magnum version, a new exclusively distributed bottle available only at Winefully.
