The 2023 Marion Borgo Valpolicella is a beautifully vibrant Valpolicella from the acclaimed Marion estate in Veneto, crafted by Stefano and Nicoletta Campedelli. A blend of Corvina, Corvinone, Rondinella and Oseleta, the wine is made without the traditional appassimento process, allowing the purity of the fruit and freshness of the region to shine. Fermented in stainless steel before ageing in large oak casks, it opens with bright aromas of red cherry, cranberry and wild raspberry layered with dried herbs, delicate spice and floral notes.
On the palate, it is light to medium-bodied with silky tannins, lively acidity and a juicy core of red berry fruit. Fresh cherry and cranberry flavours are complemented by subtle savoury notes and a gentle mineral edge, leading to a long, clean finish with exceptional balance and drinkability. Elegant, fresh and effortlessly charming, it is a benchmark Valpolicella that showcases the finesse of Marion's winemaking.
Ben’s Recommendation:
The 2023 Marion Borgo Valpolicella pairs beautifully with charcuterie, wood-fired pizza, mushroom pasta, roast chicken, grilled pork or aged Parmesan. Serve slightly chilled if desired, and enjoy now through 2030 while its vibrant fruit, freshness and savoury character are at their best.
