Made entirely from the Marzemino Nero grape variety, it boasts a beautiful ruby color and offers aromas of cherry, blackberry, and spices on the nose. On the palate, it is dry, medium-bodied, and well-structured, with flavors of dark fruit, tobacco, and a hint of vanilla. The tannins are firm but well-integrated, leading to a long and satisfying finish.

Stony soil, 5000 vines per hectare, 2 kg per plant, severe pruning to keep theyields of this very generous varietals low. Early October harvest. 20 days fermentation in steel, with indigenous yeasts. The malolactic occurs in steel. 1 year aging in barriques and tonneaux not new, 1 year in the bottle before release.

Certified organic and made of 100% Marzemino, this wine from Trentino opens with wild brambly berries, peppercorns and mountain herbs. Tart and savory on the palate, with fresh and dried red currants and lively acidity. Versatile with food, it shines with grilled trout or salmon. Try with a chill on the wine. -J.P.
