Winemaker Notes
Deep ruby red with garnet hues, Brentino offers a complex bouquet of ripe berries, currant, and cedar, followed by spicy notes of licorice and wood. On the palate, Brentino is full-bodied and soft with perfectly balanced acidity. Recommended with hearty pasta dishes, roasted and grilled meats, medium-aged and creamy cheeses.

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
The 2006 Brentino is proof of Maculan's mastery at play. A blend of 55% Merlot and 45% Cabernet Sauvignon, the wine opens with elegant aromatics that meld into a palate of sweet dark fruit, herbs and toasted oak. There is excellent depth here, not to mention superb persistence and balance, particularly at this level. In short, this is a terrific value-priced red from Veneto. Anticipated maturity: 2008-2012.

For three generations the Maculan family has been selecting and vinifying the best grapes in Breganze, an enchanting village set like a small jewel at the foot of the Alps in Italy’s Veneto region. The surrounding mountains protect the area from cold winds, creating a perfect microclimate for the cultivation of vineyards. But it is Fausto Maculan’s drive and commitment, rather than any accident of nature, which set these wines apart and distinguish Maculan as an innovative and dynamic winery.
Designed by Fausto himself, the winery is one of the most stunning small wineries in Italy, an amazing mixture of ingenuity and style. The new winery provides the theatre for a marvelous combination of antique traditions and modern techniques using the latest winemaking technology. Long-held family traditions are respected: from using specially selected vineyards and the careful selection of the bunches of grapes, to aging in new, small oak barrels and conserving the grapes on racks for the production of Torcolato. The fusion of tradition and innovation results in a selection of fresh and fruity whites, well-structured reds and delicious dessert wines.
