Between the Veneto and Trentino regions, the Roeno winery is among those that have best stood out for tradition, typicality and innovation. More than fifty years ago, Rolando Fugatti and his wife Giovanna gave life to this project, which today the children, Roberta, Cristina and Giuseppe, continue with dedication and a decisive focus on quality.
The winery, whose name derives from the combination of the initials of Rolando (Ro-) and the typical prefix referring to the world of wine (-eno), works in the narrow corridor of the middle Adige valley, where the vineyards have to find space between the river, the motorway and the railway. It is the Terradeiforti, a strip of the valley between Mount Baldo, on the Garda side, and the plateau of the Lessini mountains, the very varied soil where the family lives and which they cultivate in full respect of the ecosystem. The style of the winery is clear: wines that best respect the varietal characteristics of the grape.
This approach greatly benefits the most fragrant red grapes, such as Marzemino. A vine which has been present in Europe for centuries, the Marzemino has found its chosen environment right here in Vallagarina. Vinified and slightly aged exclusively in steel containers, it expresses a vivid ruby red colour with purplish reflections. The bouquet is delicate and intense, with a scent reminiscent of violets and small berries. Consistent with the taste, which is harmonious, with a good structure, with excellent retronasal correspondences to the fruity notes. A wine for the whole meal, it is ideal with both white and red meat dishes, and is not too aggressive.
