Venezia Giulia IGT 'Ego' 2018 (750 ml.) Bressan
'Ego' by Bressa is the result of the experience, expertise, and knowledge of this winery. It is signed by the producer by hand on each individual bottle. A blend of the international Cabernet Franc and the indigenous Schioppettino, it is made from pure grapes of the same name grown in Farra d'Isonzo from vines over 30 years old. In the vineyard, only a little copper and sulfur are used, and the grapes are harvested in a slightly late vintage and taken to the winery for a slow fermentation in steel. It rests for at least three years in oak barrels and for 15 months in the bottle. A complex and unique bouquet, composed of aromas of underbrush, hints of pepper and moss, with references to truffle and aromatic wood. On the palate, it is full, intense, and velvety, rich and long-lasting in persistence.

THE WINE
'Ego' by Bressan is the result of the experience, competence, and knowledge of this winery. Each bottle is hand-signed by the producer. A blend of the international Cabernet Franc and the indigenous Schioppettino, it is made from pure grapes of the eponymous variety grown in Farra d'Isonzo from vines over 30 years old. In the vineyard, only a bit of copper and sulfur are used, and the grapes are harvested during a slightly late vintage and taken to the winery for a slow fermentation in steel. It rests for at least three years in oak barrels and for 15 months in the bottle. A complex and unique bouquet, composed of aromas of underbrush, hints of pepper and moss, and references to truffle and aromatic wood. On the palate, it is full, intense, and velvety, rich and long in persistence.
THE COMPANY
Fulvio Bressan is an unconventional winemaker from Friuli who categorically rejects the fleeting and homogenizing trends that abound in the wine world, proudly following a niche production vision aimed at offering the truest expression of the Isonzo territory. The ancient winemaking roots of the Bressan family date back to the 18th century, while recent recognition is owed to Fulvio L. Bressan, the ninth generation of “master winemakers” and current owner, who has led the winery in Farra d'Isonzo to its definitive consecration on a global level. For the estate's logo, the Bressan family has taken the family crest, which features the ansate cross at its center.
Within the approximately 20 hectares of owned vineyards, on soils made up of layers of gravel laid over clays and sandstone marls, Fulvio Bressan cultivates both indigenous and international varieties such as Friulano, Verduzzo, Ribolla Gialla, Malvasia Istriana, Schioppettino, Pignolo, Moscato Rosa, Pinot Grigio, Pinot Nero, and Cabernet Sauvignon. The plants are grown according to a truly sustainable and conscientious viticulture, which excludes the use of synthetic chemicals and involves manual execution of agronomic operations, respecting the natural cycle of the vine. Harvesting is done only when the grapes have reached full ripeness and is followed by spontaneous alcoholic fermentation of the musts in stainless steel tanks, in contact with the skins even for white grapes. The winemaking containers used for aging include stainless steel tanks and wooden barrels of various capacities and types, where the wines mature for a long time on the fine lees until bottling, which is done without any prior filtration.
The wines from the Bressan winery are true jewels of Friulian artisanal winemaking, characterized by exemplary typicity stemming from a solid peasant culture. From orange wines to red wines, including the peculiar ‘Rosantico’, Fulvio Bressan's labels are unique expressions that reflect the strong personality of their creator.
