Description
WINEMAKER NOTES:
Since 1870 the Zeni Family have been dedicated to growing and producing classic Veronese wines. Fausto, Elena and Federica run the business following in their father Gaetano ‘Nino’ Zeni’s footsteps. With land holdings of 60 hectares of vines, the family operates two wineries, one located in Bardolino and the other in Valpolicella. Ideally situated in the heart of both regions they have the pick of the bunch from the long-term contract growers and they now assist managing 25 additional hectares of vineyards. Only the best grapes can result in wines with such a distinctive character that are true expressions of a unique terroir.
The label “Marogne” takes its name from the ancient stone walls that support the terraced vineyards and comprises wines which are characterized by high yield per hectare and specific vinification techniques, wines with medium body that are ideal pairings for the traditional Veronese dishes.
