Venco - Marco Merli

Marco Merli's Venco is a wine made from white grapes that grow on clayey-calcareous soils with the method of biodynamic agriculture. Vinified naturally without added yeasts, it ages for six months in steel. The Venco has a golden yellow color with an intriguing fruit nose, in particular plum, peach and pineapple, flowers and citrus fruits. In the mouth it is enveloping, sapid and characterized by a nice acidic shoulder.

Service

We taste the Venco at a temperature of 8/10 ° in glasses tulipano.Il Venco has to be drunk immediately, but if left a few years in the cellar can give great emotions.

Pairing

Wine that goes perfectly with pasta and fish dishes, try spaghetti with baby octopus sauce.

Winery: Marco Merli

Nestled in the Umbrian hills of Casa del Diavolo is Marco Merli’s project—a small-scale agricultural venture he tends with passion alongside his father. Just a few hectares are cultivated with respect and sensitivity; here, nature dictates the rhythm, and the vines grow in harmony with their environment. The soil is nourished through natural practices—using organic fertilizers, cover crops, and targeted treatments of copper and sulfur—allowing wild vegetation and vines to coexist in an authentic dialogue. The goal is both simple and profound: to produce healthy, expressive grapes that truly reflect their place of origin. In the cellar, Marco guides the wine gently rather than forcing it, relying on spontaneous fermentation with indigenous yeasts and extended aging in concrete vats, large wooden casks, and stainless steel tanks. Traditional Umbrian grape varieties give rise to thirteen honest wines, each rich in nuance and personality. These wines offer more than just the simple pleasure of a drink; they tell a story of land, time, and passion. They are authentic, profound, and surprising wines, capable of evoking unique emotions with every glass.
