Origin and Philosophy

Rosantico is produced with the goal of fully expressing the authenticity of Moscato Rosa and the Friulian terroir. The winery follows a natural and artisanal approach: fermentation is carried out using indigenous yeasts, without filtration or chemical clarification, ensuring freshness, complexity, and the integrity of the grape aromas. The philosophy emphasizes respecting the vine and its natural cycles, highlighting the true flavor and aroma of the fruit.

Winemaking

The grapes undergo a brief maceration on the skins, a key technique for achieving the delicate rose hue and developing aromatic complexity. Fermentation takes place in stainless steel at controlled temperatures using indigenous yeasts to maintain a natural profile. After fermentation, the wine ages on its fine lees, with no filtration, preserving structure, freshness, and depth of aroma.

Tasting Notes

Rosantico 2017 shows a delicate rose color with coppery reflections, bright and inviting. The nose is intense and aromatic, with notes of sultana grapes, peach blossom, rose petals, wild strawberry, and currant, balanced between fruit and floral aromas. On the palate it is dry, full-bodied, expressive, and persistent, with elegant structure and harmonious balance. The wine’s freshness and sapidity combine with its aromatic complexity, delivering a long, enveloping finish.

Pairings and Service

Bressan – Farra d’Isonzo (Gorizia)

History and Tradition

The Bressan family embodies one of the purest and most uncompromising expressions of Friuli Venezia Giulia’s winemaking heritage. Located in Farra d’Isonzo, in the heart of Gorizia province, the estate stands as a symbol of integrity, passion, and resistance to modern conformity. Passed down through generations, Bressan’s philosophy rejects industrial shortcuts and technological manipulation, preserving the true identity of the wine. Every bottle is the result of ancestral wisdom, patience, and total devotion to the land — a living tribute to authenticity and craft.

Philosophy in the Vineyard

In the vineyard, Bressan follows an extremely strict and personal natural philosophy, based on manual labor and complete respect for the vine’s natural cycles. All tasks, from pruning to training, are performed by hand. Massal selection of vines is used, excluding clones and any genetically modified organisms. Only indigenous Friulian varieties are cultivated, ensuring that every plant remains true to its origin. No chemical fertilizers, pesticides, or herbicides are ever used, and irrigation is strictly forbidden, since water dilutes the essence of the wine. This discipline gives Bressan’s wines their unmistakable depth and authenticity.

Approach in the Cellar

The Bressan cellar is a sanctuary of purity and minimal intervention. Grapes are harvested manually at full ripeness and vinified using traditional techniques. Fermentation occurs spontaneously, driven solely by native yeasts present on the grape skins, without any synthetic additives or industrial yeasts. Sulfur dioxide is added only in minimal amounts at bottling, remaining within the strictest organic standards. The wines age on their fine lees until bottling, without filtration, preserving their natural richness, texture, and vitality. Every process follows the rhythm of time, allowing each wine to express its full truth and individuality.

The Bressan Identity

What makes Bressan unique is not only its method but its spirit: a refusal of standardization and a celebration of freedom in winemaking. Each bottle is a living entity, with its own character and evolution. The 20 hectares of vineyards are divided across distinct parcels, each with its own soil composition and microclimate, contributing to the remarkable complexity of the wines. Bottling and labeling are done entirely by hand, using natural single-piece corks, ensuring that each wine has its perfect guardian through time. Bressan stands as a beacon of authenticity, craftsmanship, and cultural resistance.
