Marco “Barba”, grew up in Madonna di Lonigo, near Vicenza. He is the heart (and the face, if you check the label closely) of the Marcobarba project. Marco took an interest in organic and biodynamic farming from an early age. “Marcobarba” started as a social project carried on by Marco and friends he met working with another Venetian natural winemaker, Stefano Menti. Today the “Barbaboyz” take care of small plots of abandoned vineyards owned by some elderly widows, between the white sedimentary terrains of the Berici Hills and the dark and volcanic soils of Gambellara. From the grapes they grow with biodynamic practices, Marco produces about 40,000 bottles a year: a fizzy white wine, a still white and a red wine. Marco and the Barbaboyz’ winemaking and bottling is done in the Menti Giovanni Winery.

Lots of juicy red and dark fruit on the nose and palate. Medium bodied and unoaked with crunchy red fruit, bright acidity, a little spicy stemmy note that adds a layer of interest and a mineral backbone. This is an extremely gulpable red and will pair with a range of foods. Delicious with antipasti, pizza, pasta in light tomato sauce or mushroom risotto.

With a name that means “hamlet on the slope”, Vignaioli Contrà Soarda is a beacon of conscientious farming in the region of Veneto. The estate is nestled in the hills of Breganze, an area that’s been home to the Gottardi’s since 1904. For generations, this family ran a busy osteria but in 1999 they officially became vignaioli (winemakers). 12 hectares of fallow land were purchased and a winery was built directly into the rock of the hillside to minimize its environmental impact. Since the day the vines were planted, the 12-hectare vineyard has been farmed according to organic and biodynamic principles. The wineries' tenant donkeys keep cover crops in check without compacting the soil.
Produced by Marzemino grapes, this red wine has sapid notes of plum, blackberry, and violet.
