Lanzesa is a white wine grape found in Ravenna Province in the Emilia-Romagna region in its native Italy. Its name recalls its generously sized (if meagre and irregularly produced) lance- or spear-like berries.

Viticulture: Thickish, resistant skins reduce the risk of Botrytis cinerea bunch rot.

Where grown: In pockets around Ravenna Province in Emilia-Romagna such as Bagnocavallo, Brisighella, Castel Bolognese, Faenza, and Fisignano.

Wine style: Floral citrus notes, rich mouthfeel, saline undertow.
