Founded by Claudio Mariotto‘s great-grandfather in 1921, Claudio took over the family winery with brother Mauro and mother in 1990s and was one of the local producers responsible for reviving the Timorasso grape.
The Mariottos manage 54 Ha of vineyards focusing on Timorasso, Barbera, Cortese & Dolcetto (some Freisa, Moscato & Croatina) using a “common sense” agricultural approach without pesticides.
This is one of the northernmost vineyards in Timorasso and the largest producer in terms of output.
Although most of his grapes are machine harvested, the single & oldest vineyard Pitasso is still harvested by hand
All his Timorasso undergo a soft / slow pressing, spontaneous thermo-controlled fermentation and 12 months ageing on their lees in stainless steel. No cryo-maceration is used as Claudio believes this changes the profile of the wines as they age.
Only the reds are oak aged in new/2nd use tonneaux & barrique
Expect a friendly, no-nonsense tasting in the garage along with Claudio’s motorbikes and office equipment.
