Venezia Giulia Rosso IGT “Ego” 2018 - Bressan

Venezia Giulia Rosso IGT “Ego” - Fulvio Bressan

Ego by Bressan is an intensely velvety red wine, where a symphony of undergrowth scents acts as a corollary to a bouquet of pepper and musk that gradually evolves to leave room for hints of goudron, truffle and aromatic wood. It is produced with shioppettino and merlot grapes, with maceration on the skins for about 30 days. The wine is then placed in different 2000-litre barrels, handcrafted, still using different varieties of wood typical of the area, where the secondary fermentation continues. In these barrels the wine can begin its life, deciding autonomously and completely naturally when to carry out the malolactic fermentation. In the following 3/4 years the wine continues its refinement on the lees with periodic batonnage. Each bottle is signed by hand.

Service

It is advisable to serve it at a temperature of 16/18 ° in balloon cups. Wine that will express its best features in a few years.

Pairing

Great with baked pastries and second courses of meat, seasoned cheese, to try with wet duck.
