Description
What kind of wine it is
This dry white wine by Domini Veneti expresses the authenticity of the Garganega grape variety. It appears straw yellow with bright greenish highlights. The bouquet is fine and elegant, offering aromas of white-fleshed fruit such as apple and pear, combined with subtle floral, citrus notes and a delicate hint of honey. On the palate, it reveals a medium body, harmonious and fresh; the measured savouriness accompanies the sip towards a typical bitter almond finish.
Where it comes from
The grapes grow in Veneto, in a foothill area situated at around eighty metres above sea level. Cultivation uses the modified Veronese pergola system, which optimises yield and sun exposure for the bunches. The distinctive feature of this area lies in its volcanic soils, which impart a clear mineral character to the wine. The meticulous care of the vines ensures a precise expression of the terroir, enhancing the natural vocation of the environment.
How it is produced
Production begins at the end of September with a rigorous manual harvest. In the winery, the process involves crushing, destemming and subsequent gentle membrane pressing. Fermentation takes place off the skins, in stainless steel tanks at a controlled temperature, thus preserving the aromatic integrity. A prolonged ageing on fine lees, also in steel, consolidates the structure and gives perfect balance to the palate.
History and Curiosities
The Garganega Veneto IGT from the Marco Polo Collection is born from the passion and cooperative expertise of the Cantina Valpolicella Negrar. This elegant wine is made from 100% Garganega grapes, hand-picked from vineyards situated on volcanic soils. Thanks to meticulous processing and ageing on the lees in stainless steel, the wine expresses the authenticity of the Veneto region through harmonious freshness, delicate hints of white fruit, and the typical bitter almond finish, a true hallmark of the queen of Veronese white grapes.

Generations that work side by side: this is the strength of Cantina Valpolicella Negrar. It is the same strength that has enabled us to stride through history and become the benchmark producer when it comes to Amarone, Ripasso and the technique of Appassimento.
Energy and creativity on the one hand; on the other, the wisdom that comes from the experience of many vintages, leading to a generational renewal that takes place while we work together. Read more
