The Valpolicella Classico Superiore from the Venetian winery Marion is the label that best tells the story and identity of this great wine territory. On the hills of Valpolicella, wine has been produced since the times of the ancient Romans, and over the centuries the tradition has never been interrupted. The presence of valuable native red grape varieties has allowed the area to remain sheltered from trends related to international grape varieties and to maintain a strong territorial rooting. The label is a reflection of these customs and allows one to appreciate transparently the varietal characteristics of Corvina and Rondinella, cultivated on prized limestone soils.
The red Valpolicella Classico Superiore is the result of the artisanal work of the Marion winery, which manages an estate in the hilly area north of the city of Verona. The meticulous care in the vineyard and simple, non-invasive production processes allow for the creation of wines with a classic face, highlighting the quality of the grapes and the typical character of the terroir. The vineyards of Corvina and Rondinella are located in a hilly area, characterized by the presence of very suitable soils, composed of limestone, clay, and stones. Once the harvest is completed, the bunches are taken to the winery where fermentation takes place in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks with skin maceration. A portion of the grapes is vinified separately after a short drying, which gives greater softness and aromatic richness to the cuvée. Before bottling, the wine matures for 30 months in oak barrels of different sizes.
