bianco

Pale wine variety

Bianco is Italian for white, appearing in English primarily in food and wine contexts.

A dish prepared *in bianco* or *al bianco* uses white sauce, butter, olive oil, or cheese rather than tomato-based red sauce—pasta in bianco is a simple preparation with just butter or oil and parmesan.

In wine terminology, bianco designates white wines from Italy.

The word occasionally appears in product names and restaurant terminology where Italian styling is desired.
