Summary

Exclusive term related to a specific wine typology called “Breganze”. It refers to the particular characteristics of the product which is obtained through a careful production method which implies the use of partially dried grapes. Grapes, once harvested, were hung up to trellis which were consequently weaved and eventually re-hung-up. In this way grapes were submitted to the drying process.
