Product Notes

Maculan Torcolato wine is a delectably rich, sweet Italian white wine with a wonderful balance of acidity. Originating from the Veneto region, it carries a golden amber hue. Produced from Vespaiola grapes, it's typically partially dried on straw mats to concentrate sugars, enhancing its unique, plush flavour profile. The luscious notes of apricot, honey, raisins and sweet spices contribute to an elegant, persistent finish, making it the perfect accompaniment to desserts or blue cheese. The name 'Torcolato' refers to the traditional method of twisting the grape bunches on the vine, further intensifying the wine's complexity.

Alongside this is their offering a portfolio of red and whites that extends from plush, vibrant whites wines to elegant, complex reds.
