Secondo Marco

The Secondo Marco winery is located in Fumane, in the heart of Valpolicella Classica. The area enjoys a perfect microclimate: a combination of winds and a cold-mild climate, particularly favourable for the development of vines. The soil is rich in mineral salts and is very variable in stratigraphy, even for vineyards in the same locality. This is combined with the variables of research in the winery to bring out all the full flavour and richness of the grape's aromas. The company comes from a family tradition, with the desire to change and offer something new but with the intention of leaving room for the new generation. The company, after years of continuous research and observation in the vineyard and soil, decided to be the first to adopt the modified Y-shaped pergola planting, altering the traditional cultivation method used for the vines of Valpolicella. The advantages were mainly to allow more light, ventilation and leaf structure for the vines. The bunches of grapes grow perfectly in a hanging manner, without touching the shoots and avoiding invasive maintenance with greater ease of harvesting during the harvest period. Name and address of producer/distributor: Secondo Marco Azienda Agricola, Via Campolongo 9, 37022 Fumane (VR). Products from this winery should be stored in a cool, dry place away from heat sources.
