“Costadolio” Rosato Breganze DOC This is an intriguing rosé made from 100% Merlot grapes, directly pressed without destemming or crushing. Only the first part of the pressed juice is settled for 24 hours at low temperatures, and then fermented in temperature controlled stainless steel tanks. The wine is refined on the lees for three months to preserve its fruitiness, and then racked and bottled in spring following the harvest.

“Brentino” Veneto IGT Brenta is the main river near Breganze, and is also the name for a wooden basket, worn like a backpack, that was traditionally used to transport grapes during harvest. This Bordeaux inspired red is a blend of Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon that Fausto Maculan has crafted into a quintessentially Italian wine. To ensure the perfect balance between fruitiness and softness, the wine is aged for one year, 50% of it in French barriques, and 50% in stainless steel tanks.

“Palazzotto” Cabernet Sauvignon Breganze DOC Maculan’s Palazzotto is made from 100% Cabernet Sauvignon grapes grown in the best, low-yielding vineyards and aged in French barriques for one year. The name of the wine comes from the name of the area, or località, where the grapes are sourced for this wine.

“Fratta” Veneto IGT Maculan Fratta appeals to an inner hedonist. The wine is made from Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot grown in estate vineyards around Breganze, a charming Venetian wine village located along the foothills of the Dolomites. Fermented in stainless steel and then aged for one year new in French oak barriques, the Fratta is bottled unfined and unfiltered to preserve its beautiful profile, which has become legendary among connoisseurs.
