Marco Marras

'Oseleta' is named after a rare Veronese grape variety, almost extinct and now revived on the Villa Cordevigo estate. Marras's cooking mirrors this spirit of recovering and celebrating local heritage — sourcing from the estate's gardens and the surrounding wine country.

Marco Marras is the Executive Chef of Ristorante Oseleta at Villa Cordevigo Wine Relais in Cavaion Veronese, a Relais & Châteaux property near Lake Garda. His cooking celebrates the Valpolicella and Lake Garda territory through refined seasonal menus that reflect the estate's wines and gardens.
