The origins of Agricola Marrone date back over a century and through four generations. The family is focused on cultivating local grape varietals with a passionate dedication to the land.
Since 2011 the winery has been run by “Tre Fie,” the three daughters of Gian Piero and Giovanna Marrone. The farm is run with minimal intervention in the vineyard, a philosophy that carries through from harvest to winemaking. The Marrone family pays careful attention to produce wines that are elegantly structured with the potential to evolve for decades.
Expressive nose full of red berries, Mediterranean herbs, wet stones and a touch of potpourri. Textured and fine-grained on the palate, with a medium to full body and an elegant finish. Shows early appeal. Drink now.
