Interesting Facts About the Winery and Producer
The Lessini Mountains and the Durella grape: Durella is an ancient native grape variety from the hilly area between Verona and Vicenza, known for its pronounced acidity and thick skin—characteristics that make it one of the best Italian varieties for the Classic Method of sparkling wine production.
The history of Marcato: 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.
