“Pino & Toi” Bianco Veneto IGT 2022
Straw-coloured with greenish reflections, smells intensely fruity with nuances of yeast and fresh bread. The full flavour is finely balanced by the subtle acidity. A masterful and tightly woven Friulano-based white (called Tai in Veneto) that harmonises wonderfully with white meat, fish and shellfish. SUPERIORE.DE
"Spicy, grapey fruit aromas follow through to a medium-bodied palate with compact, spicy ripe-fruit flavors and a touch of phenolic grip at the end." James Suckling

“Dindarello” Bianco Passito Veneto IGT 2022 dolce
This still Muscat, conceived as the "little brother" of the Torcolato and Acininobili, is a masterpiece and proves once again that Fausto Maculan is one of the world's best producers of dessert wines. Dindarello scores with a bouquet of peaches, elderberries and aromatic herbs. These aromas accompany the wonderfully full taste until the finish. Its perfect balance between sweetness and acidity will ennoble any finish to a meal. SUPERIORE.DE
"The Dindarello 2022 (Moscato) enchants with a whimsical blend of peach sorbet, kiwi and fresh mint. It is round and smooth with a balanced inner sweetness that complements its notes of candied lime, while tropical flowers cascade through on the inside. The finish is unexpectedly long, leaving a slight chewy sensation as the notes of sour melon slowly fade away. The 2022 is a real beauty." Vinous
"A lovely sweet moscato that offers aromas of ripe melon, delicate toffee apple and flowers. Nicely compact flavors on the medium-bodied palate and just the right balance to prolong the pleasure." James Suckling

“Palazzotto” Cabernet Sauvignon Breganze DOC 2018
Palazzotto is the name of the two hectares of vineyard on which only Cabernet Sauvignon is grown. Fausto Maculan vinifies a noble wine from these grapes. Distinctive, very multifaceted bouquet of dark ripe fruits, cassis and nuances of fine spices and violets. The fruity taste is full-bodied and soft, the finish is long. SUPERIORE.DE
"The 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon Palazzotto is spicy in the glass, as cedar and ground ginger shavings give way to dusty rose and red currants. This is elegant yet finessed, with creamy textures lifted by brisk acidity as a wave of mineral-tinged wild berries washes easily across the palate. The 2018 leaves a sour twang of citrus and raspberry and subtle grippy tannins that frame the wine without slowing its momentum. While already showing quite well, this beautifully balanced rendition of Palazzotto should excel through medium-term cellaring." Vinous
"Ripe dark fruits with notes of walnuts, cedar and spices. Some leafy note. Medium to full body with lots of firm, creamy tannins and a deep core of ripe and crunchy dark fruit. Velvety and long lasting, with a firm, spicy finish." James Suckling

“Torcolato” Breganze DOC 2020 dolce
This famous sweet wine is made from strictly selected grapes that have been dried for five months. It has been one of the best sweet wines in Italy for decades. Aromas of dried apricots, white truffle, honey and sage on the nose, virtuoso and exotic on the palate. Class and elegance with a great value and an excellent ageing potential. SUPERIORE.DE
"Despite the dark amber color, this is by no means a syrupy sweetie. In fact, the palate pulls you into a much brighter and more complex zone, offering salty toffee, dried apricot, zesty lime and papaya. More if you linger. Full and silky with exquisite balance, squeezing out every interest possible on the long, tight finish." James Suckling
"The 2020 Torcolato is impossible to ignore, busting from the glass with a rich blend of peach preserves, dried nectarines, spiced ginger cookies and cloves. It’s racy and energetic, with silky textures accelerated by a core of vibrant acidity and salty mineral tones that create a sweet and savory interplay within. The 2020 finishes with remarkable length and potency yet maintains a lovely freshness, leaving nuances of exotic citrus and wild inner florals to linger. The Torcolato is produced from botrytized Vespaiola grapes aged in French oak barrels, a third new. Simply stunning." Vinous

“Fratta” Rosso Veneto IGT 2017
This beautiful cuvée of Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot from a great vintage presents itself impeccably! Deep, complex fruit bouquet, rounded off by fine sweet spices, tobacco and coffee. Punchy and textured on the palate, blackberry, raspberry and a solidly woven tannin structure in the several-minute final. A wine with great development potential! SUPERIORE.DE
"The 2017 Fratta lifts up with a dark and alluring display of black currants, sweet herbs, rich notes of mocha and savory brown spice. This is cool-toned and spicy, a bit lean, yet with a polished feel, showing tart blackberries offset by hints of sour citrus and toasty oak, as violet-tinged florals form toward the close. Fine tannins make themselves known throughout the finale, as this tapers off lightly structured, with hints of licorice lingering long." Vinous
"Deep, dense aromas of crushed black fruit with notes of charcoal and dried herbs, such as rosemary and thyme. The fruit envelops the lightly firm tannins on the full-bodied palate, creating a dense, velvety and lengthy mouthful. A well-crafted red that’s highly concentrated and bursting with flavor, but it also shows astute balance." James Suckling
"Here's an iconic wine from the Veneto made from a blend of 68% Cabernet Sauvignon and 32% Merlot. The Maculan 2017 Fratta shows enormous intensity, muscle and brawn. The wine has absorbed every last drop of sunshine, heat and dry weather conditions that characterized the 2017 growing season, and it does so with elegance and poise. The wine is impeccably balanced with dark fruit and spice. It's the kind of big-boned red wine you'll want to pair with a hearty dish of barbecue or marinated beef." Wine Advocate

“Acininobili” Passito Bianco Veneto IGT 2018 dolce
Acininobili Bianco Passito is a stunning interpretation of the indigenous Vespaiola grape, offering impressive depth, complexity and personality. It is a superb dessert wine made from grapes that were air-dried for up to 120 days after harvest and developed Botrytis cinerea during the careful appassimento process. Basically, the same Vespaiola grapes are used here that are used for Torcolato. At the end of the drying process, the grapes that have developed noble rot are hand-selected and passed into this precious wine. If the noble rot does not appear, this wine is not made.
The rare result is truly exceptional with a deep aroma of candied orange peel, maple syrup and golden honey. Monumental and viscous in the drink, this alien elixir coats the palate with smooth and even waves of magnificent intensity. This is grape juice in purezza! SUPERIORE.DE
"Not too sweet, the 2018 Acininobili Bianco Passito is in fact special in its delivery of sweetness versus complexity, with dried fruit, apricot, honey, beeswax and tropical fruit. This viscous, full-bodied expression of Vespaiola shows some light spice and toasted almond." Wine Advocate
"Quite a discreet and restrained nose for this subtle passito. Fine honeysuckle, apricot, pickled kumquat with subtle sultanas and turmeric. Also some wet stones and butterscotch. The palate is supple and silky with a lovely gliding acidity. Great balance with quite a long, lively finish. Quite effortless." James Suckling

“Fratta” Rosso Veneto IGT 2018
Every year, Fratta is a breakthrough blend of Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot that you just have to love. Fratta proved the potential of the Veneto for winemaking when it was first produced in 1977, the year Angela Maculan (a second daughter) was born. Deep, complex fruit bouquet rounded by fine sweet spices, tobacco and coffee. Beautiful lines and a sharp focus on the palate with dry mineral tones framing dark fruits, dried cherries and exotic spices. Fratta is a bold and big wine and there is no doubting the profound elegance of this very personality driven expression. SUPERIORE.DE
"A deep and dense nose of currants and black cherries and a hint of lightly charred oak. Medium-bodied with a cool and crystalline feel on the palate. The tannins are still firm but the super clean fruit pushes through beautifully. Best from 2025." James Suckling
"Dark and balsamic in the glass, the 2018 Fratta reveals aromas of crushed blackberry and wild blueberry accompanied by lavender, clove and camphor. This wine is supremely elegant and refined, with a polished wave of ripe red and blue fruits supported by a core of vibrant acidity, while cooling mineral tones provide a breezy lift towards the finish. This heady experience is underlined by sweet tannins and a slightly bitter spice, while the 2018 finishes long and classically structured. The inner harmony Maculan has captured here is breathtaking." Vinous
"A traditional and complex Bordeaux from Veneto and aged for 12 months in barriques. Notes of blackberry jam, black peppercorns, hints of marjoram and nutmeg. Salty and fruity on the palate, with a spicy finish." Luca Gardini

“Crosara” Merlot Veneto IGT 2016
Crosara from the top year 2016 reveals wonderful concentration and richness in its full and opulent style. This exceptional northern Italian Merlot is still in the stage of unbridled energy for a few more years and will thank you for further maturing time in your wine cellar with much elegance and depth. SUPERIORE.DE
"Another excellent wine from Maculan, this one their top merlot bottling. It trades in cumin and roasted garlic and nutmeg, as well as forest floor, brambleberries and tar. The interplay between the brambly tannins and vivacious dark fruit sets off a battery of fireworks in the palate, and this ends long and chewy, but silky." James Suckling
"There’s something rich and savory yet still confectionery about the 2016 Crosara that keeps your nose to the glass. Brown spice, dusty florals, hints of ginger and currants form its inviting bouquet. This is silky and enveloping with mineral-tinged red and blue berries, exotic spices and a suave character. The harmony here is noteworthy, coming across as poised and finessed, yet full of sapid fruit and brisk acids that add depth. The 2016 finishes long and spicy, leaving fine-grained tannins to linger. There’s so much potential packed into this varietal Merlot." Vinous

“Crosara” Merlot Veneto IGT 2017
Crosara Breganze 2017 is a textbook Merlot: full of ripe dark fruits, blackberry pie, liquorice, chocolate, toasted oak and grilled herbs. Offering superb inner sweetness, it is both powerful and elegant, with a lush, super-soft mouthfeel. Pleasingly, a wonderfully focused mineral component saves the wine from ever being overdone. SUPERIORE.DE
"Deep nose with tapenade and olives on top of the minty blackberries, tar and black spices. Very compact and dense on the palate, with very firm tannins and fresh, medium acidity. A little tight and chewy, with a hint of bitter chocolate in the finish. Give it some time. Try in 2024." James Suckling
"The 2017 Crosara is deep and sweetly scented with violet and lavender perfumes giving way to black currants. This is textural and velvety in feel, with ripe red and black berries complemented by sweet spice and vibrant acidity. It tapers off long and floral with grippy tannins framing the expression nicely, and a twang of sour citrus perfectly completes the expression. The Crosara is a varietal Merlot from partially dried grapes." Vinous

“Fratta Edizione Limitata” Rosso Veneto IGT 2017 · 3 bottles in OWC
2017 was the 40th anniversary of Fratta, the first harvest was in 1977 and the production in the first year totalled 3,298 bottles. To celebrate the anniversary appropriately, the Maculan family decided to select the very best barrels of this wine to release exactly 3,298 bottles in the original bottle and historic label of the time, one year later than the normal 2017 vintage. All bottles are numbered by hand by Angela Maculan and this special edition is only available from us in the original wooden box with three bottles!
This beautiful cuvée of Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot from a great vintage presents itself impeccably! Deep, complex fruit bouquet, rounded off by fine sweet spices, tobacco and coffee. Punchy and textured on the palate, blackberry, raspberry and a solidly woven tannin structure in the several-minute final. A wine with great development potential! SUPERIORE.DE
"The 2017 Fratta presents a dark and seductive nose of blackcurrant, sweet herbs, rich notes of mocha and savoury brown spices. It is cool and spicy, a little lean but with a polished feel, with tart blackberries balanced by hints of sour citrus and toasted oak, while purple flowers emerge towards the finish. Fine tannins make their presence felt on the final, which tapers off in a lightly textured way, with a hint of liquorice that lingers." Vinous
"Deep, dense aromas of crushed black fruits with notes of charcoal and dried herbs, such as rosemary and thyme. The fruit coats the slightly firm tannins on the full-bodied palate, creating a dense, velvety and long sip. A well-made red wine that is highly concentrated and bursting with flavour, but also has a smart balance." James Suckling
"Here is an iconic wine from the Veneto, made from a blend of 68% Cabernet Sauvignon and 32% Merlot. The Maculan 2017 Fratta shows tremendous intensity, muscle and brawn. The wine has soaked up every last drop of the sun, heat and dry weather that characterised the 2017 growing season, and it does so with elegance and poise. The wine is impeccably balanced with dark fruits and spices. It's the kind of big-boned red you want to pair with a hearty grilled dish or marinated beef." Wine Advocate

“Fratta” Rosso Veneto IGT 2018 · 6 bottles in OWC
Every year, Fratta is a breakthrough blend of Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot that you just have to love. Fratta proved the potential of the Veneto for winemaking when it was first produced in 1977, the year Angela Maculan (a second daughter) was born. Deep, complex fruit bouquet rounded by fine sweet spices, tobacco and coffee. Beautiful lines and a sharp focus on the palate with dry mineral tones framing dark fruits, dried cherries and exotic spices. Fratta is a bold and big wine and there is no doubting the profound elegance of this very personality driven expression. SUPERIORE.DE
"A deep and dense nose of currants and black cherries and a hint of lightly charred oak. Medium-bodied with a cool and crystalline feel on the palate. The tannins are still firm but the super clean fruit pushes through beautifully. Best from 2025." James Suckling
"Dark and balsamic in the glass, the 2018 Fratta reveals aromas of crushed blackberry and wild blueberry accompanied by lavender, clove and camphor. This wine is supremely elegant and refined, with a polished wave of ripe red and blue fruits supported by a core of vibrant acidity, while cooling mineral tones provide a breezy lift towards the finish. This heady experience is underlined by sweet tannins and a slightly bitter spice, while the 2018 finishes long and classically structured. The inner harmony Maculan has captured here is breathtaking." Vinous
"A traditional and complex Bordeaux from Veneto and aged for 12 months in barriques. Notes of blackberry jam, black peppercorns, hints of marjoram and nutmeg. Salty and fruity on the palate, with a spicy finish." Luca Gardini

“Crosara” Merlot Veneto IGT 2017 · 6 bottles in OWC
Crosara Breganze 2017 is a textbook Merlot: full of ripe dark fruits, blackberry pie, liquorice, chocolate, toasted oak and grilled herbs. Offering superb inner sweetness, it is both powerful and elegant, with a lush, super-soft mouthfeel. Pleasingly, a wonderfully focused mineral component saves the wine from ever being overdone. SUPERIORE.DE
"Deep nose with tapenade and olives on top of the minty blackberries, tar and black spices. Very compact and dense on the palate, with very firm tannins and fresh, medium acidity. A little tight and chewy, with a hint of bitter chocolate in the finish. Give it some time. Try in 2024." James Suckling
"The 2017 Crosara is deep and sweetly scented with violet and lavender perfumes giving way to black currants. This is textural and velvety in feel, with ripe red and black berries complemented by sweet spice and vibrant acidity. It tapers off long and floral with grippy tannins framing the expression nicely, and a twang of sour citrus perfectly completes the expression. The Crosara is a varietal Merlot from partially dried grapes." Vinous

The municipality of Breganze, with a population of 9,000, was for a long time one of the places not to be remembered when it came to viticulture. This changed, however, when Fausto Maculan started in the 1970s with excellent wines to ensure that the community emerged from its shadow. Today the winery, located in the historical centre of Breganze and managed by the third generation of the Maculan family, is one of the most internationally renowned wineries in Veneto. Inspired by a visit to the great wine-growing zones of the world, Fausto took over the aspects he found particularly interesting and exploited them on his own plaice, planted with many grape varieties. From the very beginning, the eloquent winemaker has been committed to high quality in his investments in the vineyard and cellar with great sensitivity. He is also responsible for Italy's international recognition as a wine country. Since 2007 Fausto has had his daughters Angela and Maria Vittoria at his side.
The Maculan winery says it has 40 hectares of vineyards, including olive groves. In addition, plots of land are still leased. The natural conditions for viticulture in the Breganze area are very favourable. The hilly cultivation zone north of Venice is protected by the Alps from the cold north winds and has a mild climate. The mostly volcanic soils are loose due to pebble deposits. The subsoil is well ventilated and drained. Perhaps Faustos most famous vineyard is the Ferrata - a southern location through which a supply line ran during the First World War. While Maculan's top creations are made from grapes grown in its own vineyards, the simpler drops sometimes come from a number of local suppliers.
Representatives of the international wine press praise Fausto Maculan again and again for his skilful interaction with the vines - be it Merlot, Cabernet, Marzemino, Chardonnay or the very rare Vespaiola. The latter type of grape serves as the raw material for the dessert wine Torcolato, probably the most famous product from the northern Italian winery. Strong personality Bordeaux wines, for which even winegrowers from the famous French region admire the winemaker from the Veneto, as well as temptingly soft Trockenbeerenauslesen are among the top wines of the winery founded shortly after the Second World War. The tirelessly rackernd quality pioneer Fausto Maculan is also repeatedly certified by experts to be able to market his own products very successfully. SUPERIORE.DE
