The history of the Marenco family is made of passion and of vineyards, of a bond between the land and the territory. As confirmed by the heraldic researches, the Marenco family has always been involved in agriculture, in the true wine making, because the best vineyards are always the most difficult to manage. Mr. Giuseppe Marenco, the present owner of the firm, started the evolution of this activity. He passed from the idea of the growing and of the selling of the grapes to the idea of the wine making and selling. Little by little, he supported his father’s small estate located in the Bagnario Valley - a very important zone for the production of the Moscato grapes, by other estates and farms, all very well positioned in the Strevi territory and in the bordering territories, reaching the present 80 hectares of which 65 hectares are occupied by vineyards.
Mr. Marenco is a man deeply bound to the roots and wanted to keep, with the help of highly specialized agronomists, the traditional plantations and growing systems. While difficult, it is the only way to support excellent grape production focusing on quality. His cellar that, thanks to remarkable and recent investments, is rich with modern machines. This allows the oenologist to work appropriately: from the soft pressing of grapes, to the control of the temperatures during fermentation, to the refining of the wines, to the use barriques, to the bottling in a sterile surrounding in order to preserve the integrity of the wine. The end result is that the ’Marenco’ family has obtained both a local and international market (U.S.A., Japan, Netherlands, Germany) supporting a common idea: from time immemorial, at the base of a good wine, there lies the earth and the high quality of the grapes.
