  • Bardolino Doc Classico
    BARDOLINO DOC CLASSICO Harvest 2019 MARCHESINI HISTORY Marcello Marchesini Winery is situated in Lazise on Lake Garda, where it keeps its roots deeply planted and breaths years of hard work, passion and true love for the vineyard. Late Grandfather ‘Nonno Plinio’, worked hard after the war and put all his savings to purchasing a tractor in order to continue working on the land of Count Cavazzocca in Lazise, just as his family had been doing for the previous 200 years. His hard work and determination paid off when in a short space of time he managed to buy for himself Count Cavazzocca’s house and his very first vineyard, the one still known today as I Santi, where the production of the grapes for Bardolino are still being cultivated. In the 80’s, Marcello, the son of Plinio took over the family business and here a new generation started a new way of producing wine. Over the years, Marcello had worked in wineries in the area and brought new ideas to the business. The vision of Nonno Plinio, who had experienced hunger, hard work and the difficulties of working on the land meaning he focused mainly on quantity was then taken over by Marcello’s new way of working on the quality of wine, leaving the idea of quantity behind him. In the new millennium the winery took a new turn when a new ‘Pink’ generation came in to give the winery a feminine touch. The winery is currently run by Marcello’s daughters; Erika and Giorgia. Giorgia is Enologist, following through the process of vinification together with her father Marcello, working both in the wine cellar and in the vines.

  • Veneto Valpolicella DOC Produced from 45-95% Corvina, Blended with Rondinella
    Veneto Valpolicella DOC Produced from 45-95% Corvina, blended with Rondinella. Other grapes of the region, such as Molinara, Negrara and Oseleta, up to 15% of the blend are permitted. Valpolicella “Superiore” show a rounder character, with a higher minimum alcohol and a minimum of one year of aging. Valpolicella Classico region is at the western end of the appellation, near the shores of Lake Garda, and consists of four “valleys, surrounding the communes of Fumane, Marano, Negrar, Sant'Ambrogio, and San Pietro in Cariano. Sub appellations also from the valleys of Valpantena and Illasi, Single vineyard (vigna) bottlings also exist. Amarone della Valpolicella DOCG Recioto della Valpolicella DOCG Recioto della Valpolicella and Amarone della Valpolicella were finally approved for DOCG status in late 2009, and may labelled “Classico” or “Valpantena” if they originate in the respective areas. Made by the appassimento process; the grapes are dried for approximately 120 days (4months) in special chambers (fruttai), under controlled conditions thus concentrating sugars. & flavours ,. (Approx 30% of original weight) The appassimento process adds complex dried fruit flavours, & additional alcoholic potential to the resulting must. Following drying, (end of January/beginning of February,) the grapes are pressed and go through a dry low temperature fermentation which can last between 30/50 days. The reduced water content can slow down the fermentation process, increasing the risk of spoilage and potential wine faults such as high volatile acidity If fermentation is stopped early, the resulting wine will contain residual sugar (more than 4 grams of sugar per litre) and produce a sweeter wine known as Recioto della Valpolicella.
