Il Signor Kurtz - 2021 - C'est La Vie
Trebbiano
Umbria, Italy
“il Signor Kurtz”, a reference to the antagonist in Joseph Conrad’s literary classic Heart of Darkness, is the wine-vision and quasi-alter-ego of one of Italy’s most thoughtful, capable and exciting next-generation winemakers - Marco Durante. Marco has a small vineyard at his home in the small village of Vallupina, on a hill near lake Trasimeno in Umbria. After spending much of his adult life, as Marco puts it, as “a wine enthusiast, as a taster, even a scribbler and sometimes a divulger”, he shed the shackles of his day job and knocked on the door of Danilo Marcucci at Conestabile della Staffa and pleaded with Danilo to take him under his wing. He was Danilo’s right-hand man for a number of years. “il Signor Kurtz”, a reference to the antagonist in Joseph Conrad’s literary classic Heart of Darkness, is the wine-vision and quasi-alter-ego of one of Italy’s most thoughtful, capable and exciting next-generation winemakers - Marco Durante.
