| Story | The flagship of Bastianich company, the Vespa Bianco, was created to highlight the power and evolution a great Friulian white can achieve. The Vespa manages to transcend the sum of its parts, confirming a wine of outstanding complexity and longevity. |
| Origin | Hills of Premariacco and Cividale (Udine). |
| Climate | Altitude: 130 60 m a.s.l. Exposure: South, South-East, South-West. |
| Soil composition | Eocene marl, limestone-based. |

| Yield per hectare | 6,000-7,000 kg/hectare |
| Harvest | Depending on the variety, from the first decade of September to the second decade of October. |
| Wine making | Each grape variety is harvested separately when it has reached optimum ripeness. The grapes are sorted on sorting benches before gently pressing, resulting in a first must and press must. Subsequently, the two batches of must are blended to start alcoholic fermentation. The varieties that make up Vespa Bianco ferment separately, about 50% in temperature-controlled stainless steel and the remaining 50% in 5 and 40-hectolitre oak casks. |
| Aging | After fermentation, retaining most of the yeasts, a long period of 'batonnage' and subsequent bottling begins. Bottle ageing completes the wine before it is marketed. |
