The Story
Where there is now a vineyard, once upon a time there was the sea. The name, Bricola, refers to the wooden structure consisting of three or more poles tied together and planted in the waters of the Venetian and Friulian lagoons. A landmark used by sailors to guide them back to port after time out at sea. 'Bricola' Chardonnay encapsulates Venetian magic and Mother Nature's elements in every bottle.
