Verdiso
Verdiso is a white wine grape variety primarily grown in the Veneto region of Italy. It is known for its role in the production of Prosecco, particularly in the Conegliano Valdobbiadene area. Verdiso is valued for its high acidity and ability to contribute to the freshness and structure of the wines it is blended into.
History[edit | edit source]
The Verdiso grape has a long history in the Veneto region, with records of its cultivation dating back to the 18th century. It was traditionally grown in the hills of Treviso, where it was often used in blends to enhance the acidity and aromatic profile of local wines. Over time, Verdiso became an important component in the production of Prosecco, particularly in the Conegliano and Valdobbiadene areas.
Viticulture[edit | edit source]
Verdiso is a vigorous vine that thrives in the hilly terrain and well-drained soils of the Veneto region. It is typically trained using the Guyot or Sylvoz systems to manage its growth and optimize sun exposure. The grape is known for its late ripening, which allows it to develop high levels of acidity, a characteristic that is highly prized in the production of sparkling wines.
Wine Regions[edit | edit source]
Verdiso is primarily grown in the Prosecco DOCG region, particularly in the Conegliano Valdobbiadene area. This region is renowned for its high-quality sparkling wines, and Verdiso plays a crucial role in the blend, contributing to the wine's crispness and aromatic complexity. The grape is also found in smaller quantities in other parts of the Veneto region, where it is used in various local blends.
Wine Characteristics[edit | edit source]
Wines made from Verdiso grapes are typically light and refreshing, with a pronounced acidity that makes them ideal for sparkling wine production. The grape imparts subtle floral and citrus notes, along with a mineral quality that adds depth to the wine. When blended with other varieties such as Glera, Verdiso enhances the overall structure and balance of the wine.
