Vespaiolo

Vespaiola is a white berried vine variety only available in Breganze DOC area and nowhere in Italy.

Vespaiola gets its name from the intense smell and the sugary pulp attracting wasps (“vespa” in Italian language means wasp).

Vespaiola is characterized by its considerable acidity and its thick skin; due to these characteristics Vespaiola is fit for different wine making techniques: still wines, sparkling wines (i.e. our Masiera) and especially straw wines (i.e. our Torcolato).
