El Marangon 2024 Cà Oche

El Marangon Colli Berici Tai Rosso 2024 – Ca’ Oche

Overview

El Marangon Colli Berici Tai Rosso 2024 is the most genuine expression of the Berici Hills, handcrafted by Ca’ Oche. Produced in just 1,300 bottles, it comes from manually harvested Tai Rosso grapes, a native variety locally known as Marangon. Fermented spontaneously with wild yeasts, aged for six months in concrete eggs, and bottled with a homeopathic dose of sulfur dioxide, this wine is a tribute to authenticity and drinkability. It shines with bright red fruit, freshness, and a natural, unfiltered energy.

Wine Story

The El Marangon project was born from the desire to highlight the identity of Tai Rosso in its most direct, vivid form. Its name, Marangon, recalls how the grape has been affectionately called for generations in the Colli Berici area — a link to its rural heritage. The 2024 vintage marks a milestone for Ca’ Oche: a wine that captures both instinct and experience, designed to express the joyous, convivial soul of Tai Rosso.

Vineyard Philosophy

The grapes come from sustainably farmed vineyards in Villaga, cultivated by hand on calcareous and marly soils. Every cluster is carefully selected during manual harvest, ensuring perfect ripeness and integrity. The approach is one of respect — no herbicides, no synthetic chemicals, only organic balance and biodiversity. The result is fruit that is vibrant, alive, and deeply connected to the land.

Winemaking Approach

In the cellar, Ca’ Oche follows an artisanal and minimalist philosophy. Fermentation occurs spontaneously with native yeasts, without temperature control. The wine then rests for six months in concrete eggs, gaining roundness and subtle oxygenation. No filtering, no fining — only patience and time. A homeopathic addition of sulfur dioxide ensures stability without altering purity. The result is a fresh, juicy and expressive Tai Rosso, pure and territorial.

Ca’ Oche – Winemakers of the Colli Berici Hills

Origins and Foundation

The story of Ca’ Oche begins in 2023, when after years of experience and experimentation, a young winemaker decided to establish his own tiny independent cellar in the heart of the Colli Berici. The name “Ca’ Oche” comes from an old country road that once crossed the area — a symbol of roots and belonging. The estate covers just one hectare of vineyard in Villaga, one of the most suitable and sunlit slopes of the Berici Hills, where everything revolves around passion, precision, and place.

Philosophy in the Vineyard

Ca’ Oche focuses entirely on Tai Rosso, the indigenous red grape of the Berici Hills. The vineyards are cultivated by hand, following organic and sustainable principles, with great care for soil health and ecosystem balance. Every action in the vineyard is guided by observation and respect — minimal intervention, maximum authenticity. The aim is to grow vibrant, living grapes capable of capturing the terroir’s true character and translating it into elegant, sincere wines.

Approach in the Cellar

In the cellar, patience and simplicity define the winemaking process. Fermentations are spontaneous with native yeasts, and maturation happens naturally in stainless steel, cement, or neutral wood depending on the vintage. No fining, no filtration — only time and gravity. The result is a range of pure, evolving wines, each expressing the soul of Tai Rosso and the personality of the Berici Hills.

Identity and Vision

Ca’ Oche is born from the desire to redefine Tai Rosso through a dialogue between tradition and innovation. Every bottle reflects a small piece of landscape, transformed by intuition and care. Production is extremely limited, crafted by hand and guided by authenticity. The mission is not volume but harmony between man, vine, and land — a timeless conversation told through wine.
