Diletta Tonello Veneto Marachelle Frizzante Bianco

Diletta focuses on indigenous grapes, namely Durella and Garganega. Durella is a grape gaining attention. It has everything that we like in a white wine: low alcohol, great acidity and freshness. This naturally high acidity also makes the grape well-suited for metodo classico, i.e. methode champenoise wines.  The wines are each named after women from Greek mythology.

The wine is bright and fresh, with soaring crystalline fruit and screaming acidity and actually improves in the glass and bottle after it is opened. It’s practically begging for some oysters or other seafood.

"Marachelle" signifies joke or prank. She called it that because it's not 100% Durella but has a little bit of Chardonnay blended in.
