Wines Delle Venezie Sig. Brombe - Szürkebarát - 2024

Sig. Brombe 2024, from Delle Venezie in the Veneto region of Italy, is a dry organic white wine with a distinctive profile. The term “Cuvée Szürkebarát” suggests a nod to Szürkebarát, more commonly associated with Pinot Gris, although within the Delle Venezie appellation, the grape variety can sometimes be eclectic or blends remain undisclosed. Expect a clean, fresh and lively white, likely offering crisp acidity, delicate orchard fruit, and perhaps subtle floral notes. Given the recent vintage (2024), you can anticipate a youthful vibrancy and a certain aromatic finesse, making this wine particularly accessible in its first few years.

Delle Venezie spans the Veneto, Friuli-Venezia Giulia and Trentino-Alto Adige regions of northeastern Italy, an area that benefits from a mild, temperate climate shaped by its proximity to the Adriatic Sea and the shelter of the Alps. The soils often combine gravel, clay and limestone, supporting fresh, aromatic expressions in the wines. The region historically supplied the world with light, approachable whites—most famously Pinot Grigio—but also produces interesting wines from less mainstream grapes. Over recent decades, focus on organic farming and higher quality has grown, mirroring a broader Italian movement towards sustainability.

This style of crisp, dry Italian white is endlessly versatile at the table. It pairs especially well with light starters: think marinated vegetables, seafood antipasti, or a simple insalata caprese. Veneto-inspired dishes like risotto primavera or spaghetti alle vongole are excellent matches, as are delicate fish preparations, grilled chicken, or fresh goats’ cheeses.

For optimal enjoyment, serve this wine well-chilled, between 8 and 10°C. If young and vivacious, it is best consumed within one to two years of the vintage to appreciate its freshness and aromatic lift. Decanting is not necessary; simply open and enjoy with good company.
