Producer: Marcato Wine: Marcato Brut Rosè 60 Months x12 Numbers of bottles: 12 Size: 0.75 L THE MARCATO: The history of the company begins more than a century ago, at the end of the 19th century, when the progenitor Francesco Marcato bought the first 5 Veronese fields in Roncà, moving from nearby Montecchia di Corsara, where he was born. The son Giuseppe collected from his father the passion for the vine and in the forties of the new century he began to produce and make wine by selling to the taverns of the provinces of Verona and Vicenza and, subsequently, marketing on his own. The next generation gave new impetus to the company with the purchase at the turn of the fifties and sixties of additional Garganega, Trebbiana and Durella vineyards for a total area of ​​over ten hectares. At the end of the sixties the company began to bottle. In 1991 Giovanni, Lino and Francesco increased the land by choosing other plots of the Berici Municipalities of Grancona, Sarego and Brendola. The following year began the grubbing up and replanting of part of the forty hectares purchased, thirty of which were planted with vineyards. Between 1993 and 1995, the Marcato company entered the Classic area of ​​Soave, acquiring land on the ridge that separates the municipalities of Monteforte d’Alpone and Soave.
