Marco Barba

Marco Barba, a key figure in the Barbaboyz collective, operates in Gambellara, Veneto, crafting wines at the Giovanni Menti Winery. The collective, formed by a group of friends including Marco and Stefano, is distinguished by its passion for biodynamic viticulture and respect for nature. They manage small plots of vineyards, initially abandoned and now owned by elderly widows, located in the diverse terrains of Lonigo and Gambellara. Marco Barba's winemaking is defined by low-intervention techniques, and the production embraces biodynamic practices. Annually, Marco produces around 40,000 bottles of Marcobarba wine, which includes a variety of types such as fizzy white, still white, red, sparkling wine, and grappa. This diverse range is a testament to their commitment to producing raw and authentic wines from clean and genuine grapes. The Marcobarba brand, developed by Marco and Stefano Menti, revolves around the concept of producing pure and genuine wines. Their wines, made from a mix of grape varieties, some known and others less so, are special and appreciated globally for their authenticity and adherence to natural winemaking principles. Marco Barba and the Barbaboyz's journey from a casual project to a significant venture in the wine world highlights their dedication to producing straightforward, genuine wines that reflect their rustic and irreverent spirit, coupled with a great heart.
