Marco Ferrari - Montagna in Valtellina
A little bit Burgundy, a little bit Rhone, Marco Ferrari is a talented winemaker capable of producing magical alpine wines in the vertiginous vineyards of Valtellina, Lombardy. Before founding his own company in 2019, Marco gained extensive experience with renowned winemakers such as AR.PE.PE and in the northern Rhone Valley with renowned winemakers such as Pierre Gonon and Thierry Allemand.
Marco Ferrari's estate is situated on the typical steep stone terraces of Valtellina, ideal for growing Nebbiolo Chiavennasca, the region's emblematic grape variety. Marco Ferrari practices organic viticulture and works entirely by hand, respecting nature and tradition. In the winery, Marco Ferrari takes a traditional, low-intervention approach, using indigenous yeasts and aging in used wood to preserve the aromas of his wines.
Marco cultivates nearly two hectares of vineyards, particularly in the most renowned cru Inferno and Sassella. These plots are renowned for their mineral-rich soils and ideal exposure, which allow for high quality grapes. Marco's wines stand out for their precision, floral profile and minerality, typical characteristics of Nebbiolo from Valtellina.
