Bertani Due Uve Bianco

Bertani Due Uve Bianco is a 750ml Italian white wine (12.5% ABV) blending equal parts Pinot Grigio and Sauvignon Blanc from Venezia Giulia. The name "Due Uve" — meaning "two grapes" — signals the wine's defining concept: a purposeful 50/50 marriage designed to showcase the strengths of each variety in a single, balanced glass.

Quick Facts: ABV: 12.5%  |  Origin: Venezia Giulia, Italy (Romans d'Isonzo)  |  Style: Stainless Steel White Blend  |  Producer: Bertani

Production & Heritage

Bertani traces its roots to 1857, when the Bertani brothers established their winery in Verona, building a reputation across generations for benchmark Veneto wines. For the Due Uve Bianco, grapes are sourced from vineyards near Romans d'Isonzo in the Venezia Giulia region — an area prized for its mineral-rich soils and cool breezes from the Adriatic. Fermentation occurs off the skins in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks held at approximately 60°F, preserving aromatic freshness and bright acidity. The finished wine sees no oak; it rests in bottle for three months before release, allowing the blend to integrate while maintaining its vibrant, primary fruit character.

Tasting Notes

Aroma: The nose opens with Sauvignon Blanc's signature tangy lift — sage, elderflower, and a whisper of green pepper. Beneath that, ripe peach and gentle citrus blossom provide a rounder, more inviting dimension contributed by the Pinot Grigio component.

Taste: On the palate, Pinot Grigio takes the lead, delivering body and a sense of elegance that anchors the wine's mid-palate. Tangy citrus and fresh peach flavors carry through, balanced by crisp acidity that keeps each sip focused. A subtle herbal thread — sage, green apple skin — adds complexity without weight.

Finish: The finish is soft yet dry, with lingering floral and citrus impressions that gently fade. It is moderate in length, clean, and refreshing — inviting another sip rather than demanding contemplation.

How to Drink Due Uve Bianco

Serve well-chilled between 46–50°F to let the aromatic interplay of both grapes shine. This wine is at its best young and fresh, within a year or two of vintage. A White Wine Spritzer highlights its citrus and herbal brightness with just a splash of sparkling water. A Hugo Spritz — combining the wine with elderflower syrup, prosecco, and mint — amplifies its existing elderflower notes. It also works beautifully in a White Sangria, where its peach and sage character pairs naturally with sliced stone fruit and fresh herbs.
