Maculan's Torcolato di Breganze is obtained from 100% Vespaiola grapes grown on the hills of Breganze (VI) characterised by volcanic and tuffaceous soils. After the harvest, the grapes were subjected to drying in the loft for 4 months, a practice that allowed to raise the sugar concentration in the fruit. The refinement takes place for 12 months in French oak barriques, one-third new and two-thirds second passage. Torcolato is a passito wine that is produced as part of the Breganze DOC which takes its name from the municipality of the same name and extends for 15 kilometres north of Vicenza. The name derives from the custom of letting the bunches wither around a pair of strings, leaving them twisted (“torcolati” in the local dialect).

TORCOLATO DI BREGANZE MACULAN: TASTING

Maculan's Torcolato di Breganze DOC shows a brilliant golden yellow color. On the nose, it reveals intense aromas of honey and white flowers with docile woody and vanilla notes. The sip is full and enveloping, supported by a good body and a fine balance between sweetness and acidity. At the table, it goes well with blue and aged cheeses as well as cakes, spoon desserts and dry pastry products.
