Part of the larger Canelones region, the small but highly desirable sub-region of Las Violetas sits inland, just south of the town of Canelones itself.
Bodega Bresesti was founded in 1937 by immigrants from the Northern Italian region of Lombardy. Bruno Bresesti, still only in his thirties, is the fourth generation of the family to head up winemaking. This is very much a family affair with Bruno as the driving force but still aided by and benefitting from the experience of his hardworking parents. The winery, with its 15 underground concrete fermentation vats, is located on the outskirts of Montevideo.
Bodega Bresesti Pequenas Colecciones Tannat wine is fermented in concrete tanks with 85% of the wine subsequently passing through 60% American oak and 40% French oak for 3 or 4 months. This wine is a rich, deep purple colour with complex aromas of red fruits, coffee, chocolate and vanilla on the nose. The perfectly balanced palate offers an interplay of rich red and black fruits, refreshing acidity and refined tannins, leading to a long finish. A true showcase for the quality of Uruguayan Tannat!
Enjoy with spicy ratatouille, spiced beef sausages, marinated lamb skewers, tagine, richly
flavoured stews and casseroles.
