Organoleptic Sheet

Curiosities about the Winery and Producer
The Lessini Mountains and Durella grape: The Durella is an ancient native variety from the hilly area between Verona and Vicenza, known for its high acidity and thick skin, characteristics that make it one of the best Italian varieties for Classic Method sparkling wine.
The history of Marcato: Marcato winery was founded in 1904 by Lattanzio Marcato and has written the history of Lessini Durello, believing from the start in the potential of long lees aging to enhance this volcanic grape.
