Valpolicella Superiore DOC 2019 Marion: elegance and depth from Veneto

Valpolicella Superiore DOC 2019 Marion is a Veneto red wine of great personality, crafted by Marion Azienda Agricola, capable of uniting aromatic richness, tasting softness, and a balanced structure. The wine's profile is born from careful processing of the grapes, with part subjected to drying and part harvested in over-ripeness, to achieve a complex, enveloping blend with remarkable persistence. It is a bottle designed for those seeking an Italian wine with a strong yet harmonious character, suitable for tasting moments and dining with flavorful dishes.

Territory and style of the wine

This Valpolicella Superiore DOC comes from the vineyards of the Valle di Marcellise, in a hilly area, about 100 meters above sea level. The hilly context and the calcareous soil with little clay and stone contribute to defining a style that is taut yet rich, where freshness and fruit maturity find a good balance. The separate vinification of the two batches of grapes and aging in small oak barrels guide the wine towards greater complexity, without detracting from the purity of the fruit and the typical identity of the denomination.

Tasting notes

In the glass, it presents an intense ruby red color, enriched by violet reflections. The bouquet recalls small forest fruits, ripe cherries, and perennial herbs, with a spicy frame that adds depth and finesse. On the palate, the Valpolicella Superiore DOC 2019 Marion is soft, enveloping, and complex, with a full tasting texture and good final persistence. The structure is elegant, supported by a freshness that keeps its drinkability alive and by tannins that are present but well integrated.

Recommended pairings

Thanks to its harmony and aromatic richness, the Valpolicella Superiore DOC 2019 Marion pairs well with not overly elaborate red meats, roasts, braises, game birds, and aged cheeses.

Its softness makes it pleasant even with grilled dishes and courses based on mushrooms or sweet spices.

Serving temperature
