At Villa Bellezza, March is the Month of Marquette! Join us as we celebrate the grape and our Marquette family of wines with wine, food, tastings, and pairings.
About Marquette
Marquette is Villa Bellezza’s most valuable grape, as well as our winemakers’ favorite red grape and the one behind some of our most popular red wines. We have 4 acres of established Marquette grape vines and planted 5 more acres of Marquette vines in 2022.
Marquette produces a complex, elegant, and age-worthy red wine, with elements of black fruit and spice. From our Rosso D’Amici and Marquette ’20 varietal to our Marquette Reserve ’17 and newly released Marquette Reserve ’18, you’re destined to become a fan.
Marquette in the Tasting Room & Restaurant
Come taste special Marquette features as our tasting room associates help you find your perfect Marquette wine match. Celebrate the much-anticipated release of Marquette Reserve ’18 with a complimentary taste beginning Friday, March 22.
At Il Forno, guests can pair their favorite Marquette wines with pizza or pasta. Try Rosso D’Amici with Rigatoni. Marquette ’20 paired with our Spicy Italian Pizza is also a favorite pairing!
Our Current Marquette Feature
Our newly released Marquette Reserve ’18 has been aged to perfection! A dry wine produced by extended cold fermentation on skins, it has been aged in French Oak producing a medium body wine with black currant, blackberry, and some spiciness. The hint of spice and deep fruit aromas that have developed with aging make this red wine a customer favorite and one of our most appreciated reds.
This wine is great to drink now and will also continue to age well, making it a perfect bottle for a future special celebration. In fact, you might want to pick up a case!
Come visit for a complimentary taste, and stock up on bottles and cases!
