Obtained from Ribolla Nera grapes, called in Friuli Schioppettino, a deeply elegant and interesting variety. Spontaneously fermented in steel tanks with a long maceration on the skins. Pouring an almost night sky colour, with wild blackberry, raspberry and blueberry, followed by the ever-present peppery notes. With aging it evolves into an elegant bouquet of undergrowth, moss and aromatic wood. The sip is full and warm, enveloping and juicy. The cellar of Fulvio Bressan is located in Farra d'Isonzo, in the province of Gorizia. Historical Bressan, whose origins date back to 1726 by Giacomo Bressan. Fulvio cultivates 20 hectares of vineyards that lie on the pebbles of the sunshine that have the peculiarity of accumulating daytime heat and releasing it in the evening. The ideas of Fulvio Bressan to make the wines are very clear, no chemicals in the vineyard but only the respect of nature, in the cellar only indigenous yeasts and traditional vinification, in accordance with a long tradition that refuses modernity. The cultivated vineyards range from native Schioppettino, Malvasia, Verduzzo Friulano and Ribolla Giallo to Pinot Noir and Merlot.
