Bressan 2004 Pinot Grigio (Venezia Giulia)

Online Exclusive

Price $35

Bressan proves that Pinot Grigio can obtain sky high levels of sophistication. This saturated, almost amber-colored wine is rich with opulent honey, apricot, maple syrup, baked pear and pungent pinesap. It’s extremely rich, long-lasting and sports a complex, almost prickly personality. — M.L. (12/1/2007)

Bressan 2006 Carat White (Venezia Giulia)

Editors' Choice

Price $34

A fabulous Friulano-based wine (with 10% Malvasia and 10% Ribolla Gialla), Carat is a rich and intense wine that will certainly last another five to 10 years in the cellar.

Bressan 2006 Pinot Grigio (Venezia Giulia)

Online Exclusive

Price $40

This is a radically different Pinot Grigio that opens with a golden color and offers aromas of caramel, butterscotch and candied fruit. The mouthfeel is creamy and luscious. It’s released after many years of cellar aging, and the process to make it is very sophisticated and labor-intensive. — M.L. (7/1/2012)

Bressan 2006 Verduzzo Friulano (Venezia Giulia)

Price $37

This is incredibly intense with aromas of candied fruit, pine nut, resin and honey. The mouthfeel is dense and persistent and ultimately this Verduzzo Friulano drinks more like a red wine than a white. — M.L. (8/1/2009)

Bressan 2004 Schioppettino (Venezia Giulia)

Price $40

This unique wine made from native Italian Schioppettino grapes opens with a blast of freshly milled black pepper, clove, nutmeg and black fruit. It’s unlike anything you will ever try and makes a perfect pairing with pepper-crusted cold cuts or thickly sliced ham. The mouthfeel is intense and pungent just like crushed peppercorn. — M.L.
