Palazzo Tronconi
Arce, LazioThe producer
Palazzo Tronconi is Marco Marrocco’s biodynamic estate in Arce, in southern Lazio’s Ciociaria. Returning to his family’s agricultural roots, Marrocco began planting vineyards in 2011 and built a working farm around historic Arce grapes, olives, animals, an osteria, and guest rooms.
Fruit & cellar
Source, hands & bottle.
The estate is certified organic and Demeter biodynamic. Its farming avoids herbicides and synthetic fertilizers. In the cellar, native-yeast fermentations proceed in concrete, terracotta, and wood; wines mature without fining or filtration, with the vessel chosen to follow each grape and parcel.
