PRODUCER PROFILE

The Marion estate has been in the hands of the Campadelli family since 1986. Based in the valley of Marcellise—just outside of the Classico zone of Valpolicella, it is, relatively speaking, somewhat new to the winemaking scene. Stefano Campedelli and his wife, Nicoletta Foornasa, began bottling in 1995, nine years after purchasing the estate. These are elegant, classically styled Valpolicella, with layers of dark fruit throughout. Their growing recognition is certainly well-deserved.

VINEYARD & VINIFICATION

Clay and limestone– pH 7.80– 8.50; organic fertilisation every four years, using microelements as required. The grapes are pressed after few hours from the harvest and the fermentation starts immediately at a low temperature with selected yeast for 8-10 days with its own skins.The wine obtained is stored in stainless steel tanks for four months. Afterwards, a second fermentation takes place on the skins of the Amarone. The ageing is in 30HL barrels for 24/30 months.
