Antica Torre del Roccolo
Breganze, Vicenza
“Bregantio”, Veneto Frizzante Bianco
SKU TRBF
A white sparkling “col fondo”-style wine from an assortment of grapes including (but not limited to) Garganega, Vespaiolo, Dorona Veneziana, Picolit, Bianchetta Trevigiana, Chardonnay, and Incrocio Manzoni, from co-planted vines averaging 80 years old. The grapes are fully mature when picked, so the wine has no trouble undergoing spontaneous primary fermentation, and a small amount of must is added to induce secondary fermentation. The wine exhibits a clean, golden yellow color with fresh savory herbs, pepper, and beautiful roundness playing off the bubbles.
About Antica Torre del Roccolo
Given how little wine is made here, it was pure luck that we chanced to open a 2016 Antica Torre del Roccolo Bianco with dinner one night at Osteria al Cicheto in Venice, where the owner has built an excellent list of terroir-driven wines from his home region.
