For three generations the Maculan family has
been selecting and vinifying the best grapes in Breganze, an enchanting village
at the foot of the Alps in Italy’s Veneto region. While the surrounding
mountains protect the area from cold winds, creating a perfect microclimate for
the cultivation of wine grapes, it is Fausto Maculan’s drive and commitment
that sets these wines apart and distinguishes Maculan as an innovative, dynamic
winery. Continually at the forefront of any dessert wine discussion, Fausto
Maculan has received numerous accolades from the world’s most esteemed wine
critics.
Since 1985, Fausto has been the course director
for the Association of Italian Sommeliers (AIS). He is also recognized as an
expert taster, nominated to judge both national and international wine
competitions. In 2007, Angela and Maria Vittoria, Fausto’s daughters,
officially joined Maculan’s operations. Angela travels the world to represent
the winery and Maria Vittoria graduated from the Oenological and Viticulture
Science University of Padua to follow in her father’s winemaking footsteps.
The Maculan farm comprises 37 acres of
estate-owned vineyards in the charming town of Breganze. Located in the Veneto
region about 12 miles north of Vicenza and roughly equidistant from Verona and
Venice, Maculan also has contracts with growers of another 125 vineyard acres
within the Breganze DOC. The location of Breganze at the southernmost foothills
of the Dolomite Alps provides perfect southern exposures along with protection
from central European winters.
Designed by Fausto himself, the winery is one
of the most stunning small wineries in Italy, an amazing mixture of ingenuity
and style. The architecture provides the theater for a marvelous combination of
antique tradition and modern innovation using the latest winemaking technology.
Long-held family traditions are respected, from using specially selected
vineyards and the careful selection of grape bunches, to aging in new, small
oak barrels, to hanging long strands of grapes from the ceiling to dry for the
production of Torcolato. The fusion of tradition and innovation results in a
diverse selection of fresh and fruity whites, well-structured reds, and
delicious dessert wines.
