About the wine
This hidden gem is the ultimate sumptuous red Italian sipper
- A third generation winemaker at her family winery, up in the hills near Lake Garda in the Veneto region, Marica’s clan have been crafting top-quality Italian wines for 64 years.
But being based in a little under-the-radar pocket of the Veneto, they’ve never got the attention they deserved. Things are starting to change now though, as wines like this stunningly rich Corvina starting to turn Custoza into a household name.
- Marica's new vibrant ruby red is soft as velvet, with ripe black cherry fruits and an elegant peppery, herbaceous note. It's complex, refined and it's made to take centre stage for your big dinner party plans, it never fails to impress.

Meet the winemaker - Marica Bonomo
-
We knew Marica would be a perfect fit for Naked when she joined us back in 2022, and that Angels would love her wines. But to go from a standing start to Winemaker of the Year in just two years is nothing short of extraordinary.
-
Marica is exactly the kind of hard-working, humble but uber-talented winemaker Naked was set up to support. A third generation winemaker, her family have been crafting top-quality Italian wines for 66 years, up in the hills near Lake Garda in the Veneto region. They don’t use pesticides or herbicides, and can paper the walls of their recently renovated, solar-powered winery with so many sustainability credentials and certificates. And by producing only wines that come from their own vineyards, Marica knows the identity and soul of every single grape that goes into them.
-
In recent years, Marica’s wines have started to get noticed in high places, including being named in the ‘Top 100 Wines’ in the world by Wine Spectator. And now she’s topped it all by being named your 2023 Winemaker of the Year. It couldn't have happened to a nicer lady.
