Fausto Maculan, an esteemed producer of the Veneto region, is a passionate advocate for Italian wine globally and a key interpreter of the Bordeaux blend. His daughters, Angela and Maria Vittoria, manage a sizable estate in the hilly region of Breganze. Here, merlot and cabernet are complemented by white varietals such as chardonnay and sauvignon. Vespaiolo is a particular focus and contributes to Maculan's range of sophisticated, classy sweet wines. The Fratta '18, a Bordeaux blend from the Ferrata and Villa Elettra vineyards, draws on the favorable harvest to present particularly lively and fresh aromas, with red fruit appearing juicy and intersected by spicy, balsamic notes. On the palate, its firmness is outlined by a smooth tannic texture, and the wine unfolds sapid and long. The Torcolato is dominated by citrus and exotic fruit notes; in the mouth, its bursting sweetness is perfectly balanced by acidity and a saline presence.
