Organoleptic Profile
Visual: Bright golden yellow with warm reflections. Very fine, persistent, and continuous perlage.
Olfactory: Intense and complex. Notes of toasted bread crust, brioche, ripe yellow-fleshed fruit, candied citrus and mineral undertones typical of the volcanic soils of the Lessini Mountains.
Palate: 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 in over 5 years of lees aging. Long, savory and persistent finish.

Serving Temperature and Glass
Serving temperature: 8 - 10 °C
Recommended glass: a wide-bodied sparkling wine glass (large tulip or structured white wine glass), ideal to release the complex aroma range and enhance the creaminess of the perlage.

Gastronomic Pairings
Traditional dishes: Baccalà alla Vicentina or cod pâté, Adriatic fish fry, aged Venetian cold cuts (e.g., Sopressa Vicentina).
First and Second Courses: Seafood risottos, tagliolini with sea urchins, delicate white meats and medium/long-aged cheeses such as Monte Veronese DOP.

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