Description

A true one-of-a-kind. Proposed here by one of the most representative companies in the Breganze area. We are talking about Maculan's Vespaiolo, Breganze DOC. It comes from volcanic and tuffaceous hills, nestled between the Venetian Pre-Alps. It is no coincidence that the secret of this wine's decisive character lies in the particular volcanic terroir of the Breganze hills. These, in fact, are the result of eruptions that occurred millions of years ago. The soils, composed of basalt and tufa, are rich in minerals and well drained, giving the Vespaiola grapes an intense minerality and marked freshness. An indigenous white grape variety, Vespaiola is distinguished by its rusticity and its ability to adapt well to volcanic soils. The bunches, consisting of small, compact grapes, ripen late, yielding grapes rich in sugars and aromas. The grapes are harvested manually and undergo a short cold maceration to extract the aromatic precursors. Soft pressing and ageing in steel vats preserve the wine's freshness and fragrance. Pale straw yellow, enhanced by greenish reflections, it conquers the nose with a clean and intense bouquet, characterised by floral notes and hints of white-fleshed fruit. In the mouth it is dry and full, with a lively freshness balanced by a good structure. The typical minerality of the volcanic soil emerges with elegance, giving it a long and pleasant aromatic persistence.
