Tasting Notes

Nose: Intense and complex. Notes of toasted bread crust, brioche, ripe yellow-fleshed fruit, candied citrus, and mineral nuances typical of the volcanic soils of the Monti Lessini emerge.
Palate: Fresh, dry, and full-bodied. The sharp acidity typical of the Durella grape is perfectly balanced by the softness and creaminess developed during over five years of aging on the lees. Long, savory, persistent finish.

First and main courses: Seafood risottos, sea urchin tagliolini, delicate white meats, and medium- to long-aged cheeses such as Monte Veronese DOP.
Facts About the Winery and Producer
The Monti Lessini and the Durella grape: Durella is an ancient indigenous grape variety from the hilly area between Verona and Vicenza, known for its pronounced acidity and thick skin—qualities that make it one of Italy’s best grape varieties for Metodo Classico sparkling wine production.
The history of Marcato: The Marcato winery was founded in 1904 by Lattanzio Marcato and has helped shape the history of Lessini Durello, believing from the outset in the potential of extended lees aging to bring out the best in this volcanic grape variety.
