Az. Agr. Secondo Marco di Marco Speri

In Fumane, on the hills marking the entrance to Valpolicella, Marco Speri's winery benefits from a confluence of currents: the cold air descending from the Lessini mountains and the mildness rising from Lake Garda. This results in a mosaic of mineral-rich soils, so variable that character can change between neighboring vineyards. The Y-shaped pergola manages light, ventilation, and leaf surface, concentrating the savoriness and aromatic density necessary for the winery's two appassimento reds in the grapes. On this foundation, Amarone della Valpolicella and Recioto della Valpolicella are born, both DOCG wines that share the grape and the waiting period but diverge in outcome, one dry and the other sweet. Here, winemaking is primarily an exercise in patience, a process that translates the terroir rather than indulging a particular style. Those who wish to verify this in person can visit the winery: a tour allows one to observe firsthand the connection between the Y-shaped pergola, the mineral soils, and the profile of these two wines.
