Marion Borgo Valpolicella 2022

“The hottest winery in Veneto? Well, there are several. But one of them is without question Marion. …I can’t imagine anyone who doesn’t love wine who wouldn’t want to drink any of their wines”- Antonio Galloni 

Marion Borgo has unwittingly become the calling card of the estate, an insight or a teaser if you will of Azienda Agricola Marion’s mission statement. The wine is exclusively made up of Corvina (Elegance), Corvinone (Muscle), Rondinella (Perfume) and ancient native varietal Oseleta vinified in stainless steel tanks then into large format seasoned oak (3000ltr) for 12 months before bottling. A pure expression of Stephano & Nicoletta’s vineyards with little to no winemaker intervention.

The Marion Farm, located in the unspoilt Marcellise valley east of Verona, is a small family run property managed by Stefano Campedelli, his wife Nicoletta and her brother Marco and their two sons. Acquired in the late 80’s the first task the Campedeli family set about to change was the over all vineyard health and lower yields all with the goal of improving overall fruit quality, during this period fruit was sold to local co-ops until 1993 when Stefano met Celestino Gaspari, under the guidance of the ex-cellar master at Guiseppe Quintarelli and current adviser to Romano dal Forno, Marion was born. -  Importer's Note
