Schioppettino Bressan 2020

The Schioppettino by Bressan is undoubtedly an unforgettable and remarkable red, due to its overwhelming aromaticity combined with the fabric of a champion. The histrionic Fulvio Bressan, a producer among the most talked about for his strong and clear positions, but at the same time a master of the vineyard and a deep connoisseur of everything concerning the world of wine, and in particular of what is important to obtain extraordinary liquids like his. Talking with Fulvio about wine is a formative experience as much as tasting one of his bottles, as it is fundamental to establish essential concepts such as the degree of ripeness of the grapes, the rejection of chemical substances that compromise the natural environmental balance, the maintenance of low yields, and much more. It goes without saying that the liquids bottled by Fulvio in Farra d'Isonzo are one better than the other, but above all they possess an unmatchable expressive pride. A true example of uniqueness.

The Bressan Schioppettino is obtained from pure grapes of the homonymous vine cultivated in Farra d'Isonzocoming from vines over 30 years old, which rest on soil rich in skeleton and iron oxides. In the vineyard, where nothing is used except a little copper and sulfur, the grapes are harvested in a slightly late vintage and brought to the winery to undergo a slow fermentation in steel for at least 35 days. The liquid ages for at least 12 months in oak barrels.

The Schioppettino wine presents itself in the glass with a ruby red color that shifts towards garnet. The nose is lysergic and frankly uncontrollable, a true cauldron that puffs out whiffs of black pepper, tomato, ripe cherry, and earth, in a continuous and dynamic evolution. The sip is no less impactful, endowed with a filling and velvety texture, and an unquantifiable persistence with the usual parameters. A captivating experience.
