- Rossese Bianco was once more common in Italy than the red-berried Rossese varieties.
- Though some believed this grape to be a white-berried mutation of a Rossese variety, the name Rossese Bianco refers to both its white grapes and the white wine it produces.
- Additionally, the whitish berries have a faint red glimmer, adding to its distinctive name. There are multiple grapes called Rossese Bianco in Italy, further adding to the complexity of its identification.

Rossese Bianco bears some resemblance to Vermentino but offers a richer profile. Its delicate fruit aromas and flavors—ripe citrus, nectarine, and winter melon—are more pronounced, complemented by stronger herbal nuances of chlorophyll, thyme, and mint. Compared to Vermentino, Rossese Bianco has less salinity but more flesh to its character.
