The name "Marne 180" recalls the type of land on which the vineyards were planted (marne) and their exposure from southwest to southeast expressed in degrees (180). This wine is obtained from grapes harvested in various vineyards located in the Valpolicella hills. The different origin of the varieties is important in order to obtain a well-balanced wine, with the good structure that only certain individual areas of Valpolicella can give.

Its color is intense ruby and as for the nose, they are left notes of vanilla and sweet fruits such as raisins, blueberries and cherries. Tastewise, it is a wine with a velvety and raisin character that, combined with its structure and typical elegant bitterness, maintains a good balance. It has a long and persistent flavor and is suitable for aging. Goes well with red meat grilled, roasted or stewed in rich sauces, game and aged cheeses.

Ungehheuer GG in Forst is one of the most important Riesling vineyards in Germany. In 1869, Ungeheuer was served at the opening of the Suez Canal and already had admirers such as Goethe and Otto von Bismarck.

Sandstone, limestone and basalt are found in the soil on the slope above Forst. Ungeheuer GG is intense and mineral with a refined and elegant nose. Aromas such as grass, apricot, orange peel, melon and hints of vanilla come to your nose after some time in the glass. In the mouth it is full and creamy. Its acidity, minerality, metallicity and saltiness are distinct. This wine is really tasty and balanced. Another plus is the possibility of aging, beyond ten years. Pair it with hearty dishes, such as baked pork, crabs and grilled tuna.
