Curiosity about the Winery and Producer:
The volcanic soul of the Lessini Mountains: The Marcato winery is historically linked to the production of the Method Classico in the Lessini Mountains area (between the provinces of Verona and Vicenza), a territory characterized by basaltic soils of volcanic origin that give the wines pronounced mineralogy and a distinctive acidity.
The Durella grape: The true protagonist of these bubbles is the native grape variety Durella, known for its thick skin and natural, vigorous acidity, a trait that makes this wine perfect for very long lees aging without losing freshness.
Micro-Edition in Magnum: As directly reported on the hand-written label, this specific lot is part of an extremely limited run of only 493 pieces in the prestigious Magnum format of 1.5 liters, ideal for slow and harmonious maturation on the lees.
Organoleptic profile
Visual appearance: Bright straw yellow with golden reflections and an extremely fine, numerous and persistently pearly perlage.
Nose: Complex and elegant aromatic profile. Immediate notes of toasted bread crust and yeast emerge, combined with scents of fresh citrus, green apple, white peach, field flowers, and subtle mineral nuances of rock dust.
Taste: In the mouth, the entry is dry, taut and vertical thanks to zero dosage (Brut Nature). The bubbles are creamy and well integrated; the high acidity typical of the area balances perfectly with the structure developed in 60 months on the lees, delivering a long, saline finish with a pleasant almond-like note.
Wine Pairings
Appetizers and raw seafood: Excellent with oysters, salmon or tuna tartare, prawns, and white fish carpaccio.
Sea dishes: Ideal with seafood risottos, lobster tagliolini, or linguine with clams.
Second courses and fried dishes: The pronounced acidity cleanses the palate when pairing with mixed small-fry, vegetable tempura, or a grilled salmon fillet.
Cheeses: Great with fresh and goat cheeses, but capable of supporting even the savoriness of medium-aged cheeses.
