93 Pts Antonio Galloni - Vinous |
"The 2005 Calto is a blend of 60-65% Valpolicella Superiore and 35-40% Teroldego. The Calto literally dazzles on the palate with gorgeous depth in its vibrant red fruit. Sweet spices, tobacco, leather and licorice come together in the glass, adding further layers of complexity and nuance. This is a super-impressive effort in what was a very challenging harvest. Anticipated maturity: 2012-2025." (02/11) |
Description:
"The Marion agricultural firm, situated in the uncontaminated valley of Marcellise to the East of Verona, is a small, family-run business managed by Stefano Campedelli, together with his wife Nicoletta and brother Marco. The firm's philosophy is centred on constant care and attention during all phases of wine production, starting first and foremost from the running of the vineyards, organised along strict lines to achieve maximum protection for the natural balance of the plants. The vines are situated in a foothill area with plenty of sunshine and have partly been reconverted to guyot, a plant training system which enables a higher quality grape yield to be achieved. Ability, perseverance and hard work are the factors which have enabled this firm to produce wines such as Valpolicella Superiore, Amarone, Cabernet Sauvignon and Teroldego, fine-bodied wines with personality, able at the first sip to express that 'terroir' which few producers are able to exalt to the full."
"The firm's premises are located in a splendid, fifteenth century country villa which once belonged to the Counts Marioni, large landowners in the Verona area. The Campedelli family acquired the property in 1988, but only after a long period of renovation on the old building, when the surrounding countryside was also cleared and reorganised, were vines first planted. Initially the production went to the Cantina Sociale di Colognola ai Colli, until 1994 when the owners sensed the potential of the land together with the micro-climate of the area and, encouraged by Celestino Gaspari, decided to experiment with their own independent, quality production. This was the start of the Azienda Agricola Marion, the term used by local inhabitants for the village which was the home of this noble Estate. The new complex includes only six of the total of seventeen hectares and from 1999, which marks the first year of own label marketing, to the present production averages around 25,000 bottles a year, winning the appreciation of an ever-demanding market right from the outset." -Winery
