Food
BIBIONE’S WHITE ASPARAGUS
Bibione’s white asparagus is a vegetable that boasts unique organoleptic qualities thanks to its cultivation in the sandy soil of Bibione. It is distinguished by its pure white color, due to its cultivation under shade cloths that protect it from sunlight. Its history is intertwined with that of the “Bibione” Agricultural Cooperative, founded in 1959 by Istrian exiles who came here to escape the persecution they were suffering in their homeland.
Wine
There is no viticulture in Bibione; however, in the surrounding hinterland there are some important DOCG and DOC consortia, such as Lison DOCG, linked to the cultivation of the Tai grape; Lison Pramaggiore DOC, which includes various types of red and white grapes such as Cabernet, Refosco, or Chardonnay and Pinot Grigio; finally, it is possible to find Prosecco DOC from Glera grapes, grown in various countrysides of the municipalities of Eastern Veneto, including that of San Michele al Tagliamento.
