Curiosities about the Winery and Producer
The Lessini Mountains and the Durella grape: The Durella grape is an ancient autochthonous variety of 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 spumantizzazione Metodo Classico.
The Marcato story: The Marcato winery was founded in 1904 by Lattanzio Marcato and has written the history of Lessini Durello, believing from the outset in the potential of long lees aging to enhance this volcanic grape variety.
