About this wine

Vineyard and terroir

The Sangiovese grows on mixed soils in Umbria, near the banks of the Tiber River.

Vinification

The grapes are harvested in September, at optimal ripeness. After a short maceration the juice is separated from the skins. It ferments in stainless steel tanks at a controlled temperature of around 15 °C.

Ageing

The wine spends 2 months on the fine lees before bottling, then rests for a further month in the winery's cellars.

Tasting profile

The wine is young and refreshing in taste.

Label / history

The label carries a compass design taken from an old captain's logbook. With the wine's refreshing taste, the nautical theme suggests a fresh sea breeze, which is the meaning of the name Brezza.
