The cellar: Bressan

The Fulvio Bressan winery is located in Farra d'Isonzo, in the province of Gorizia. The Bressan Company is a historical company, whose origins date back to 1726 thanks to Giacomo Bressan. From generation to generation we have come to Nereo but especially to Fulvio who, after finishing his university studies, is dedicated body and soul, together with his wife Jelena Misina, to manage the company and the international promulgation of the company, so that Fulvio is appointed "Noble of Friulian Wines" by the Duke Emilio I. Fulvio cultivates 20 hectares of vines that are found on the pebbles of the Hisonzo that have the peculiarity of accumulating the heat during the day and releasing it in the evening. The ideas of Fulvio Bressan to make wines are very clear, no chemical herbicides in the vineyard but only respect for nature, in the winery only indigenous yeasts and traditional vinifications, respecting a long tradition that rejects modernity. The cultivated vines range from the indigenous Schioppettino, Malvasia, Verduzzo Friulano and Ribolla Gialla to Pinot Nero and Merlot. The wines of Bressan are true, sincere, unique, intense as the strong and charismatic personality of those who produce them.
