Nicola Biasi’s project is both ambitious and sophisticated.
Ambitious from the very beginning, when he decided to vinify at 1,000 meters above sea level, in Coredo (Trentino, Northern Italy). The difficult snowy vintage confirmed the challenge—and inspired the name of the wine itself: Vin de la Neu! But he believed in it nonetheless, and he was right.

A solid example in support of his theory on resistant varieties—grapes with clean profiles and a clear aim toward excellence.
If there’s someone you can trust on this front, it’s him. It’s no coincidence he leads the Resistenti business network and consults for several wineries, with experimental projects underway even in the Marche region.
I visited him at the very beginning, drawn in by a project that was already crossing boundaries.
What I appreciated first was the man, the professional—and there’s no better foundation than that. I was struck by the wine’s sharp acidity and wondered how accessible it might be, but the finesse was undeniable. And just a few years later… boom! I have nothing to add anymore.

VIN DE LA NEU 2021 – NICOLA BIASI
The wine is now complete, in the fullest sense of the word: his dream is to craft a wine in the style of the finest Champagnes—a complex nose and a fresh, never-tiring palate.
The 2021 vintage has an intense and well-defined nose, with subtle notes of candied citrus, white pepper, integrated vanilla, and white flowers, along with vegetal and saline touches.
On the palate, it’s consistent, satisfying, and long-lasting. He agrees with me on its completeness, for several reasons: the vineyard is finally mature, he has had time to fine-tune his vision, and this is also the first year of aging in Kádár barrels, which had an impact on the style from the very start.

And not only that—the cellar is now ready too, with exclusive hospitality that includes his presence. Otherwise, what would be the point?
Ad maiora.
