Taste: On the palate it is fresh, dry, and of great structure. The sharp acidity typical of the Durella grape is perfectly balanced by the softness and creaminess developed over more than 5 years of aging on the lees. Long, savory, and persistent finish.

Curiosities about the Winery and Producer
The Lessini Mountains and the Durella grape: The Durella grape is an ancient native variety of 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 Classic Method sparkling wine.
The Marcato story: The Marcato winery was founded in 1904 by Lattanzio Marcato and helped shape the history of Lessini Durello, believing from the start in the potential of long lees aging to enhance this volcanic grape.
