The character of our wines is created in the fields where each vine is hand trimmed by winemaker Alan Bruzzo, lending his personal vision to the development of the fruit. This is the core philosophy of the Ca' Bruzzo vineyard tradition. The personal tending of the the vines, along with the particular "terroir", give these wines their unique character.
The yields are purposefully kept very low each year, and eco-compatible farming methods are used throughout the vineyards.
The local microclimate provides an ideal setting to cultivate deep-rooted old vines. Accordingly, no irrigation is used; and as a result the roots are forced to grow deep to find moisture, adding to the complex character of the wine.
The Berici Hills are part of the pre-alps at the edge of the Po plain where ascending currents create windy conditions, maintaining the leaves dry and the grapes healthy.
The Vineyard
The Vineyard
The Vines
Over one-hundred year old vines situated within lush hillside vineyards. Covering 22.5 acres (9.11 Hectars), 12.35 (5 Hectares), yielding five varieties of grapes: Merlot, Cabernet Franc, Sangiovese, Chardonnay and Tocai Rosso (local Italian grape related to Grenache and Cannonao). These grapes have been cultivated using eco-compatible farming methods since 1977: No pesticides, chemical fertilizers or herbicides. No irrigation is used, forcing the roots to grow deep to find moisture, adding to the character of the wine. Ca' Bruzzo organic wines have been featured in Wine Spectator and the vineyard/winery recently appeared on the Europass Show: "Italian Fine Wines and Food".
