(TheDrinksBusiness) - The exceptionally high water level that has submerged the Lagoon of Venice and the city of Venice over the last few days has also engulfed the world’s lowest vineyard.
The Bisol vineyards underwaterThe Bisol vineyard on the island of Mazzorbo has been completely overwhelmed by the high tide. Floods levels have reached 1.5m above the normal level of the Adriatic Sea and are the sixth highest floods since records began in 1872.
Gianluca Bisol, the winemaker for Bisol, said: “We have had the honour of taking part in a show that is unique to this world.
“The Dorona vines literally seemed to be born from the water as they were mirrored in the unmoving surface of the lagoon. What has happened here has no equal in any part of the world and will be remembered throughout history. We have never known such a high tidal effect since the vineyard was planted.”
