Description

"The hottest winery in Veneto? Well, there are several. But one of them is without question Marion. …I can’t imagine anyone who doesn’t love wine who wouldn’t want to drink any of their wines"
- Antonio Galloni 

The Borgo is Marion’s most joyful red. Sourced from the Campedelli family’s vineyards in the quiet Marcellise Valley east of Verona, it’s a pure expression of Valpolicella without the weight or fuss of appassimento.

Made from the classic local mix of Corvina, Corvinone and Rondinella, this is Valpolicella as the Italians drink it at home: crunchy red cherries, wild strawberries, a flicker of herbs and spice, all carried on fresh acidity and fine, feathery tannins. It’s bottled young to preserve its energy, giving you a red that’s both savoury and refreshing, with just enough depth.

This is the Marion wine we reach for on weeknights and long lunches alike – the one that sits happily alongside pizza, pasta, charcuterie or nothing at all. Think of it as Italy’s answer to Cru Beaujolais or Jura reds: unpretentious, food-friendly, and dangerously drinkable.

The estate may be guided by the influence of Quintarelli alumnus Celestino Gaspari, but the Borgo is all about ease and charm. For us, it’s the gateway to Marion – and one of the best-value Italian reds on our shelves.

    Good value for money Italian

    Really enjoyed this drop of Italian red which is drinking well but will also develop further. With food or without you won’t be disappointed.

The wine is exclusively made up of native varietals. Corvina (Elegance), Corvinone (Muscle), Rondinella (Perfume) and ancient native varietal Oseleta vinified in stainless steel tanks, all four varietals co-fermented together. Then pressed off, 80% remains in tank with the remaining wine moved into large format seasoned oak (3000ltr) for a total 12 months before bottling.

There is no Appassimento (dried grapes) in this wine. A pure expression of Stephano & Nicoletta’s vineyards with little to no winemaker intervention.
