Montecariano Valpolicella wines are produced on a small, 27 hectare vineyard and the winery is owned and run by Mariella Gini, and her two sons Marco and Matteo. Marco (the winemaker) is one of the most enthusiastic Italians I have ever met, and his passion for all things is highly refreshing – he even got excited discussing spending 2 weeks cleaning all the bins for the coming vintage’s grapes!
He also makes fantastic wines – the usual Valpolicella wines and some more unusual varieties not normally associated with the area – such as his outstanding Puntara Cabernet Sauvignon.
