Identity: what is and is not confirmed

The research for this library did not locate a VIVC passport for the Prosecco variety Perera. VIVC does list the name Perera Verde, but as a synonym of Bianchetta Trevigiana (VIVC 1329).4

This does not show that Perera and Bianchetta Trevigiana are the same variety. The Prosecco rules name them separately, and without a passport for Perera the question stays open here. Number, berry colour and pedigree will be added once the VIVC entry is verified.
