Palazzotto Cabernet Sauvignon Breganze DOC
Maculan’s Palazzotto is made from 100% Cabernet Sauvignon grapes grown in the best, low-yielding
vineyards and aged in French barriques for one year. The name of the wine comes from the name of the
area, or località, where the grapes are sourced for this wine.
Pino & Toi Veneto IGT
The name references the varieties from which it is made: “Pino” for the 25% Pinot Bianco and 15% Pinot
Grigio, and “Toi” for the 60% Tai as it is now referred to in the Veneto (formerly Tocai Friulano). All the
grapes are sourced from various vineyards in and around the town of Breganze, where the Maculan family
winery is located. This unique white wine is fermented and refined in temperature-controlled, stainless
steel tanks to preserve its crisp freshness.
Sauvignon Veneto IGT
Made using the most modern white winemaking techniques—pre-fermentation cold soak maceration and
temperature-controlled fermentation in stainless steel—this Sauvignon Blanc exhibits the classic hallmarks
of the varietal. A brief period of lees aging adds roundness to the palate and balances the zesty acidity
typical of Northern Italy while adding considerable length to the finish.
Torcolato Breganze DOC
Torcolato is made entirely from handpicked Vespaiola grapes that have been slightly affected by botrytis,
a noble rot that adds complexity to this luscious dessert wine. Before fermentation, the grapes are dried
for four months in a traditional method that involves winding the bunches around twine and hanging them
from the ceiling. These hanging clusters form a twisted rope; thus explaining the wine name “torcolato”
which, in local dialect, loosely translates as “twisted.”
