Marogne Tonde owes its name to those stone walls that support the terraces of vineyards in Valpolicella and are built “a secco” without concrete, following the round shape of the hills. This wine is obtained from grapes of Corvina and Rondinella selectively chosen and stored to dry. It is produced according to the traditional method, exclusively from grapes of the farm “Costa degli Ulivi” in the evocative hilly area of Fumane, well known as “Costa” which means sheltered hillside.
Limited Production.

The Climatic characteristics of the year

The 2015 vintage was characterized by a favorable climatic trend for the vineyard and overall the grapes had a gradual maturation. In winter the temperatures were above average. The climate was rather hot during the summer with temperatures above the seasonal average and almost total absence of precipitation. The slight water stress has contributed positively to the accumulation of polyphenols and sugar in grapes. The final stage of maturation was excellent and allowed to harvest healthy and ripe grapes in ideal conditions for winemaking and with a remarkable aromatic complexity. The harvest period, the second half of September and the first week of October, was characterized by sunny days and good temperature range between night and day.
