Luca Maroni – Annuario dei Migliori Vini Italiani (Best Italian Wines Yearbook)

In 2022 Rocca dei Forti Prosecco Doc Rosé Millesimato (vintage) 2021 entered the Best Italian Wines Yearbook with a score of 94 points. Luca Maroni implements three parameters to determine wine quality, which he evaluates according to his senses: consistency, flavor balance and integrity. The third parameter is integrity. Here, he evaluates how much enology respects the taste and aroma of fruit, and how it treats it from the solid to the liquid phase, in a fully clean manner. The richer, more balanced and intact a wine is, the higher its quality index.

Luca Maroni implements three parameters to determine wine quality, which he evaluates according to his senses: consistency, flavor balance and integrity.
