Description
"Marzemino is a red Italian wine grape variety that is primarily grown in north-eastern Italy. The wine has a long history and is noted for it’s mention in the opera Don Giovanni of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. (“Versa il vino! Eccellente Marzimino!”). This late ripening variety was hand picked towards the end of the season and fermented in stainless steel tanks. The excellent natural acidity in the fruit created a foundation for a smooth fermentation with minimal intervention. Once pressed off skins, we transferred the wine to barrel for maturation for one year with 10% new oak to create structure and definition. The wine has characteristically a very dark tint and flavours of bright cherries and dark plums." - Winemaker Notes
