Besgano bianco

From WikiMD's Food, Medicine & Wellness Encyclopedia

Besgano bianco is a white Italian wine grape variety that is grown in the Veneto region of northeast Italy. The grape is known for its high yields and is often used in the production of dessert wines.

History[edit | edit source]

The origins of Besgano bianco are not well documented, but it is believed to have been cultivated in the Veneto region for centuries. The grape is often associated with the Prosecco wine region, where it is used to produce sparkling wines.

Viticulture[edit | edit source]

Besgano bianco is a high-yielding grape variety that is well suited to the cool climate and fertile soils of the Veneto region. The grape is typically harvested in late September or early October, and is often used in the production of dessert wines due to its high sugar content.

Wine regions[edit | edit source]

While Besgano bianco is primarily grown in the Veneto region, it is also cultivated in other parts of Italy, including Friuli-Venezia Giulia and Trentino-Alto Adige. In these regions, the grape is often blended with other varieties to produce a range of different wine styles.

Wine styles[edit | edit source]

Besgano bianco is known for producing wines with a light, delicate flavor profile. The wines are typically dry, with high acidity and notes of green apple, pear, and citrus. When used in the production of dessert wines, Besgano bianco can produce wines with a rich, sweet flavor and a long, lingering finish.

Food pairing[edit | edit source]

Due to its high acidity and light flavor profile, Besgano bianco is often paired with seafood dishes, such as grilled fish or shellfish. The wine's delicate flavors also make it a good match for light pasta dishes and salads.
