Decanter, June 2023


Winemaker/owner Stefano Campedelli, a disciple of famous local enologist, Celestino Gaspari, produces a classically styled Valpolicella Superiore from his 22 hectares of vineyard at Marcellise, not far from the small town of San Martino Buon Albergo in Valpolicella Orientale. His 2019 is a pale cherry-garnet colour with a fragrant, almost floral nose, showing hints of spice, dried cherry and cranberry, and seasoned wood. Round and ripe with fresh, juicy red fruit flavours, the palate is balanced and poised. Elegant stuff with a long, lingering finish.

Vinous, December 2022


The 2018 Amarone della Valpolicella is smoky and darkly alluring, with masses of crushed stone and savory herbs giving way to dried black cherry. This is an especially lifted and juicy red from Marion. Depths of tart wild berry fruit and spiced citrus tones excited by vibrant acidity. It finishes potent and lightly structured, nearly buzzing with residual tension, as hints of hard red candy and dark, dark chocolate linger for what seems to be a full minute.
