Marco Barba

Marcobarba is a project born by an idea of Marco and Stefano, realized and carried on by the “Barbaboyz” in Menti Winery in Gambellara. The Barbaboyz take care of small plots of abandoned vineyards owned by some elderly widows, between the white sedimentary terrains of the vineyards around Lonigo and the dark and volcanic soils of Gambellara, as well as contributing to produce Giovanni Menti Wines. From the grapes they grow with biodynamic practices, Marco produces about 40,000 Marcobarba wine bottles a year among fizzy white, still white, red and sparkling wine, and grappa. - Marco Barba

About the Winemaker

Marco Barba

Marcobarba is the brainchild of Marco and Stefano, brought to life and nurtured by the "Barbaboyz" at Menti Winery in Gambellara. These dedicated individuals tend to small parcels of neglected vineyards, once owned by elderly widows. Their plots span the white sedimentary soils around Lonigo and the dark, volcanic terrain of Gambellara, while also contributing to Giovanni Menti Wines. Employing biodynamic practices, they cultivate grapes for Marco's production of approximately 40,000 bottles of Marcobarba wines annually, including fizzy white, still white, red, sparkling wine, and grappa.
