NATURAL WINES BY BRESSAN
Bressan is a family estate in Farra d'Isonzo in Friuli, on the edge of the Collio close to the Slovenian border, where the Bressans have farmed since 1726. Fulvio Bressan is the ninth generation. The vines average around 70 years old, with the Schioppettino at around 120, and grow on clay and iron-rich limestone with layers of sandstone. They are dry farmed, densely planted and pruned hard for low yields.
The approach in the cellar is deliberately old-fashioned. Reds ferment for weeks on their skins, then age for years in large casks, not only oak but also acacia, cherry, chestnut and mulberry. Bressan is best known for reds, especially Schioppettino and Pinot Nero. We also stock their No3 and Ego.
