Az. Vitivinicola Marchetto

In Gambellara, among the four municipalities in Vicenza that define the denomination, Az. Vitivinicola Marchetto focuses its work on a single signature wine: Recioto di Gambellara DOCG. Everything begins with Garganega grapes, hand-selected bunch by bunch, evaluating ripeness and position, then left to rest for ninety days in the aerated *fruttaia* (drying room) of Coste. It is this prolonged *appassimento* (grape drying) that builds the wine's concentration. After a delicate pressing and fermentation with indigenous yeasts, a *passito* (dessert wine) is born—also available in a sparkling version—reaching a minimum of 14% alcohol. The entire production chain, from vineyard to *fruttaia*, revolves around a single objective: to translate Garganega into a long-lasting sweet wine. This single-denomination focus is not a reduction but a choice of depth. Visitors to the estate can closely follow every step, from grape selection to the *fruttaia* of Coste, and understand how the signature of this Vicenza area emerges from a single grape and a single set of regulations.
