Rosso Breg 2010
The Breg Rosso IGT Venezia Giulia 2010 by Gravner (Oslavia, Friuli-Venezia Giulia) stands as one of the most legendary, extreme, and spiritually profound red wines ever crafted, embodying the uncompromising, visionary philosophy of Josko Gravner. Sourced from local red grape varieties (traditionally a field blend featuring Pignolo and historic regional vines) grown on the steep terraces of Oslavia over calcareous marl and sandstone (ponca), this wine is the ultimate benchmark of natural, amphora-driven red winemaking.
Cellar protocols faithfully replicate ancient Georgian techniques: spontaneous fermentation with indigenous yeasts inside buried Georgian amphorae, featuring an exceptionally long skin maceration without any temperature control. Following pressing and racking, the wine matures for 4 years in large oak casks, then bottled unfined and unfiltered. In true Gravner fashion, the 2010 vintage was held back in the estate's cellars for an astounding 11 additional years of bottle aging prior to release, emerging as a masterpiece of breathtaking maturity and timeless complexity.
