N03 2019 - Bressan

No3 - Fulvio Bressan

Bressan's No3 is a red wine with a full, vinous and fruity bouquet, of exceptional elegance, with scents of undergrowth and violets softened by the stay in the large 2000-litre oak barrels that are absolutely not toasted, which enrich it with aromas of aromatic musk. The vinification takes place with fermentation on the skins for about 30 days, during which various punching downs, pumping overs and 1 or 2 delestages per day are carried out; once this phase is over, the fermented must is separated from the skins, which are gently squeezed only to facilitate complete draining and nothing else. The wine is then placed in different 2000-litre barrels. 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 yeasts with periodic batonnage.

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.
