Description

The name ‘Collis Breclemae’ derives from the fact that the vineyards are situated on the hills above the now-destroyed medieval village of Breclema, a strategic stronghold on the outskirts of Ghemme. The grapes are harvested by hand around the second half of October, and the traditional vinification involves fermentation at 28-30°C with daily manual punching-down to facilitate the extraction of polyphenols from the skins. In the next stage, the wine is racked into oak barrels for ageing, followed by further bottle ageing.

Tasting

Garnet red colour. The nose offers aromas of red fruits, violets and hints of liquorice, for a full and elegant sip, with velvety tannins and a savoury finish.

Pairings

It accompanies meat dishes, game, and tasty cheeses.
