ORGANICALLY FARMED
Corvina 50%, Corvinone 40%, Rondinella 5% & Molinara 5%
"The bright freshness of this Valpolicella hides a complex soul of ripe berry fruit aromas. Like a classic ballet dancer: elegant, agile, and tense. Best enjoyed at cellar temperature (55F).
"Secondo Marco means “according to Marco”: in 2008 Marco Speri left his Family’s world renowned Speri winery to make Valpolicella wines according to his very own vision and taste. His approach is deeply rooted in time-honored local winemaking traditions, which require growing exclusively native grapes (Corvina, Corvinone, Rondinella, Oseleta, Molinara, Croatina, Pipiona…), using the traditional Pergoletta Veronese trellising system, letting the native yeasts carry over the fermentations naturally, and aging the wines for extended periods in large, neutral aging vessels. Organic farming, the use of Green Manure and an unrelenting attention to details complete Marco’s winemaking philosophy.
"The resulting wines offer a singular combination of aromatic complexity and overall balance, transcending the convention that for decades has seen Valpolicella Producers split in two camps: the traditionalists and the modernists." - LUCIDITY WINE MERCHANTS, IMPORTER
Spontaneous fermentations of 15-20 days in truncated-conical steel tanks, with maceration at low temperatures. 12 months in 50 HL cement tanks, 6 months aging in 50 HL Slavonian Oak barrels. 13% abv.
