Produced and bottled by Maculan S.r.l. – Breganze (VI), Italy
Produced in Italy
The Maculan Breganze Torcolato (packaged in a tiny 375-milliliter bottle) is a pure expression of the Vespaiola grape. It opens to a saturated golden color with shiny amber hues. The wine shows deep and intense aromas of caramel, honey and candied peach over a sugary, full-bodied mouthfeel. All of that exuberance and intensity is mitigated by the wine's balanced acidity
Lots of raisiny fruit on the nose with some aromatic cedar and dried nuts. There’s also some beautiful white truffle deep down in the mix. Full and silky, the syrupy fruit flavors soon give way to a bright, lemon and saline finish that lasts for minutes. Beautiful complexity to this. It has a bit of everything. Enjoy now, or hold.
Tradition has it that the name Vespaiola, used for the typical grape of the Breganze area, derives from its particularly sweet and sugary nature. It is an irresistible temptation for bees and wasps that delicately rest on its bunches to feed on its sweet juice. The Vespaiola grape is used to produce a precious passito wine, the Torcolato di Breganze DOC, proposed here by Maculan in a traditional version. 100% Vespaiola grapes, the bunches are hung in special rooms in the winery and left to dry slowly for about 4 months. Only then are they transformed, first with a fermentation in steel and then with a slow maturation phase in barriques, partly new, partly used, for no less than a year. Brilliant golden yellow in colour, the nose reveals an intense bouquet, with notes of honey, flowers, vanilla and noble woods. In the mouth it is sweet and gratifying. It has good body and an excellent balance between acidity and sugars. It is the wine to be reserved for special occasions, when it can be served with mature and intensely flavoured cheeses, or with simple traditional desserts.
For three generations now, the Maculan family has been selecting and making wine from the best grapes in Breganze, a charming village at the foot of the Asiago Plateau. The mild climate there favours the cultivation of vines and olive trees. The hills of Breganze, for those who do not yet know, offer ideal soil for grape varieties such as Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Chardonnay, but also Tai and Vespaiola. Today the company can count on about 40 hectares of land, with vines and olive trees. However, Maculan also controls around 30 selected winegrowers who bring their grapes to the winery. The company's head quarter is located in the historic centre of Breganze, a successful marriage of ancient tradition and modern winemaking techniques. From here, harvest after harvest, come the great wines, appreciated all over the world.
