Bianco d'Alessano

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The white wine variety Bianco d'Alessano is cultivated in the Italian wine-growing region of Apulia in the metropolitan city of Bari and the provinces of Brindisi and Taranto, where it is often used as a blending partner for the Impigno and Verdeca varieties . It is approved in the Denominazione di origine controllata (DOC for short) - white wines Locorotondo and Martina Franca .

Once expanded, the Bianco d'Alessano is a pleasant, straw-yellow wine . At the end of the 1990s, 1692 hectares of vineyards were planted with this variety in Apulia . However, it is often given up in favor of the Verdeca variety, as it is more productive.

Ampelographic varietal characteristics

In ampelography , the habitus is described as follows:

  • The shoot tip is open. It is very hairy white wool with a slightly reddish tinge. The young leaves are hairy with fine flames.
  • The large leaves are usually three-lobed to five-lobed and only slightly curved (see also the article leaf shape ). The stem bay is open in a U-shape. The sheet is sawn. The teeth are closely arranged in comparison to the grape varieties.
  • The cone-shaped grape is large, shouldered and dense. The round berries are medium-sized and yellow in color. The berries are juicy and thick-skinned.

Bianco d'Alessano ripens about 35 days after the Gutedel and is one of the late-ripening grape varieties of the late third ripening period (see the chapter in the article grape variety). Bianco d'Alessano is a variety of the noble grapevine ( Vitis vinifera ). It has hermaphroditic flowers and is therefore self-fruiting. In viticulture , the economic disadvantage of not having to grow male plants that produce yield is avoided.
