Blackberry, Black Truffle, Savoury

Friuli / Red / Pinot Noir / Sustainable

This wine is made from 100% Pinot Nero grapes, sourced from vines with an average age of 70 years, located at an altitude of 40-120 meters above sea level. The wine is then aged for at least 36 months in 20-hectolitre wooden casks, followed by a minimum of 3 months in stainless steel tanks and at least 1 month of bottle fining. This extended ageing process results in a complex and well-structured Pinot Nero, reflecting the distinctive terroir and meticulous winemaking techniques.

Notes on the producer

Fulvio Bressan represents the 9th generation of winemakers carrying the Bressan name and working a small plot of land in the Farra d’Isonzo since 1726. And given the way he runs his winery, you would think that he might just be channeling all 9 generations of prior expertise, with little care for how the rest of the world might make their wines.

ALL chemical and synthetic products including pesticides and herbicides are banned. With all vines pruned to 4-5 buds, the BRESSAN vineyards are also farmed dry, as in, not irrigated. Fulvio pointed out that where their vineyards lie, it’s not far from the Isonzo river. Here the relatively poor gravel topped soil composition encourages vine roots to channel deep to find their life-saving water source. Low interventionist, he isn’t certified as organic or biologic even if his personal rules impose conditions in the vineyard and wine-cellar that are more severe than those of various “certifications”.
