Brucisco Bianco - Marco Merli

Bruciso Bianco - Marco Merli

Brucisco is a classic Umbrian blend with an authentic and surprising character. Brucisco is the nickname of Enzo, the father—a name that encapsulates a story and defines the identity of a wine with a warm, robust soul, deeply rooted in the land of its origin. Upon the first sip, the sensation on the palate is textural and vibrant: vinous, mineral, and genuine, with fine structure, it is a wine that evokes the countryside and speaks directly of its terroir. In the glass, it displays a characteristic hay-yellow hue typical of the hills of Central Italy. The grapes are destemmed and partially crushed before pressing; the must then ferments in steel tanks for about 20 days until the sugars are fully converted. The result is a wine that is true to its territory, sincere and textural, boasting fine structure and ethereal elegance, capable of bringing all the energy and authenticity of the Umbrian countryside into the glass. 

Service

It is recommended to serve it at a temperature of 10/12° in tulip glasses. Daily wine but left a few years in the cellar can give great emotions.

Pairings

Excellent as an aperitif, ideal to accompany the main courses of fish, to try with a stew of monkfish.

Cellar: Marco Merli

Nestled in the Umbrian hills of Casa del Diavolo is Marco Merli’s project—a small-scale agricultural venture he tends with passion alongside his father. Just a few hectares are cultivated with respect and sensitivity; here, nature dictates the rhythm, and the vines grow in harmony with their environment. The soil is nourished through natural practices—using organic fertilizers, cover crops, and targeted treatments of copper and sulfur—allowing wild vegetation and vines to coexist in an authentic dialogue. The goal is both simple and profound: to produce healthy, expressive grapes that truly reflect their place of origin. In the cellar, Marco guides the wine gently rather than forcing it, relying on spontaneous fermentation with indigenous yeasts and extended aging in concrete vats, large wooden casks, and stainless steel tanks. Traditional Umbrian grape varieties give rise to thirteen honest wines, each rich in nuance and personality. These wines offer more than just the simple pleasure of a drink; they tell a story of land, time, and passion. They are authentic, profound, and surprising wines, capable of evoking unique emotions with every glass.
