Producer Information

In order to understand the importance of Venice’s winemaking tradition, one need only recall that Piazza San Marco contained a vineyard until the year 1100. The first traces of viticulture harken back more than 2500 years, and the islands of the lagoon were always cultivated in order to provide some self-sufficiency in a lagoon 92% of whose surface is covered by water. Even the piazzas were farmed, hence the term “Campo” (field), which is often used in place of “Piazza.” Venissa was founded in 2002, when Gianluca Bisol saw a small vineyard in a garden in front of the Santa Maria Assunta Basilica, the oldest church in all of Venice, located on the island of Torcello. His curiosity was piqued, and after he met Nicoletta, who tended to the garden, he began to carry out historical and agronomical research on the vines. The first vintage of Venissa was introuduced in 2010; 4480 bottles were produced, thus introducing Dorona di Venezia into the most important wine cellars in the world. In the years that followed, Venissa has become a cult wine and ranked highly in the most important wine industry guides and publications, thanks in part to the growing interest in macerated wines. The minerality and strong notes of the salty terroir of Native Venice are what most appeal to wine lovers. In 2011, Rosso Venissa was first introduced; it is produced from Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon vines grown on the nearby island of Santa Cristina. From the same vineyard, in 2013, Rosso Venusa was born.
