ABOUT THIS WINE
The Marion Valpolicella Superiore 2020 is a red wine from the Valpolicella DOC Superiore appellation in Veneto, Italy. Produced by Azienda Agricola Marion, a family-run estate in Marcellise, the wine is crafted from a blend of Corvinone, Rondinella, Corvina, and Croatina. A distinctive aspect of its production involves drying a portion of the grapes for approximately 40 days to concentrate flavors, alongside harvesting a second portion in an overripe state. These separate vinifications are then aged for about 30 months before blending. The estate's philosophy emphasizes meticulous vineyard management and natural balance, aiming for elegant wines with clean fruit characteristics reflective of the eastern Valpolicella region.

WINE MAKING PROCESS
The Marion Valpolicella Superiore 2020 is produced using a distinctive method that involves two distinct approaches to the grapes. A portion of the harvest is dried for approximately 40 days, while another portion is harvested in an overripe state. These two lots are vinified separately. Following vinification, the wines are kept separate for about 30 months before being blended. The wine then undergoes aging in small-capacity oak barrels. The producer's approach prioritizes meticulous vineyard management and natural balance throughout the process.
