Tenuta Maraveja delights Coney Island and its amusement park.

That the wines of Tenuta Maraveja were of great prestige, we discovered from the very first sip. That Gildo Gennari is a very atypical and unique character in the world of Italian winemaking is another fact. His intimate relationship with nature and the grape is something fascinating that sparks discussions. What matters in the end is that his wines have a strong emotional impact and always leave you hanging on a “wow.”

Those who have taken on the project of restructuring and revitalizing the famous Coney Island peninsula know this, particularly the legendary Luna Park, which has made children and families dream for the last century. A businessman from Vicenza, Alberto Zamperla, builder of the largest amusement parks in the world, has decided to restore dignity to what remains of Coney Island's Luna Park. In the brand new Amusement Park Zamperla, he strongly wanted the wine that moves him, no ifs, ands, or buts. A piece of Colli Berici in Brooklyn. 

Gildo Gennari has embraced his friend Alberto's request with great satisfaction and will be present in June at the grand presentation of the park. But Gildo also knows that Alberto will have to settle for much less than he asks because his production is decidedly limited. It will be the wine of great gourmets who are opening their restaurant in this place of amusement.

“For me, it is a great satisfaction to be part of this significant project to restore one of the most mythical places of ancient New York. When I return, I will tell everything to my vines because, in the end, it is all their merit.” On this occasion, Gildo will also present the new Bordeaux blend of Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot, Tovomarìn, which takes its name from the ancient fossil land on which the vines of his properties are rooted. A gray clay rich in minerals that nourishes the vital sap of the vines of Tenuta Maraveja.
