Familia Bresestl Tannat Pequenas Colecciones

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. Boasting slightly higher, breezier topography than the rest of Canelones, the key difference here is the predominance of volcanic and limestone-rich soils. This combination produces wines of concentration and structure, meaning the region has built a strong reputation for age-worthy Tannat in particular.

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. Benefitting from vineyards in the coveted micro-region of Las Violetas, the focus here is on the production of high quality, distinctive wines delivering a unique expression of that terroir. Traditionally vinified wines are produced alongside more experimental and radical styles - aiming to balance constant innovation and the preservation of traditional, artisanal processes. 

Rich, deep purple in 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.
