Chardonnay DOC Breganze
Maculan Chardonnay combines the pleasant weight of the Chardonnay grape with the freshness of this cool
climate growing zone at the foot of the Alps in northern Veneto. Fermented in stainless steel and rested
only briefly in tank before release, this is a wine to be appreciated for its zestiness and vibrant character.
Costadolio Rosato Breganze DOC
This is an intriguing rosé made from 100% Merlot grapes, directly pressed without de-stemming or
crushing. Only the first part of the pressed juice is settled for 24 hours at low temperatures, and then
fermented in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks. The wine is refined on the lees for three months
to preserve its fruitiness, and then racked and bottled in spring following the harvest.
Dindarello Moscato Veneto IGT
A delicate dessert wine made from 100% Moscato Fior d’Arancio grapes, which translates as “orange
blossom.” After the harvest, the grapes are dried for one month in temperature- and moisture-controlled
rooms to concentrate the sugars and flavors in the berries while keeping the grapes in the healthiest
condition. Following this brief drying period, the grapes are gently pressed and fermented in stainless
steel tanks, resulting in a lovely and balanced dessert wine.
Fratta Veneto IGT
Maculan Fratta will appeal to your inner hedonist. The wine is made from roughly two-thirds Cabernet
Sauvignon and one-third Merlot grown in estate vineyards around Breganze, a charming wine village in
the northern Veneto region located along the foothills of the Dolomites. Fermented in stainless steel and
then aged for one year new in French oak barriques. Fratta is bottled unfined and unfiltered to preserve
its beautiful profile—which has become legendary among connoisseurs.
Madoro Veneto IGT
Owner Fausto Maculan enjoys experimenting with Cabernet and he is an expert in producing sweet wines
use a ellipse, so why not combine the two? The first letters of MAculan, DOlce (sweet) and ROsso (red)
are combined to form Madoro (Maculan Sweet Red!). It is made with 50% Marzemino and 50% Cabernet
Sauvignon. After strict bunch selection, the grapes are dried for six weeks before fermenting in stainless
steel tanks. The wine is finished in French barriques to add extra complexity.
