Marion
With a list of accolades as long as your arm, it's fair to say the wines of Marion are some of the finest in Veneto.
The current winemaker, Celestino Gaspari, worked in the cellar alongside the great Giuseppe Quintarelli for 15 years before taking on the role at Marion. With that sort of resume, it's little wonder the wines are now receiving wide acclaim.
Owned by Nicoletta and Stefano Campedelli, the beautiful Marion estate in Valpolicella covers about 21 hectares, but the winery only produces only about 70,000 bottles a year.
Several celebrated Amarone producers take much of their sought-after fruit - mostly Corvina, Rondinella, Corvinone and Croatina, plus some rare Teroldego and Cabernet Sauvignon.
