GEOGRAPHICAL PRODUCTION AREA

The Marzemino has always been cultivated on the Lake Garda's shores.  This variety has found a perfect microclimate for optimal growth, bunches full of color and rich in sweet tannins.

BRANCHING

Guyot trellis-training, Simonit pruning method. From 5 to 8 buds for each rod.

AVERAGE YIELD

80 qli/Ha

POTENTIAL AGEING

10 years

SEASON 2024

As it happens now, year after year since 2020, the winter of 2024 has been characterized by mild temperatures. The beginning of the sprouting has occurred regularly in line with seasonal rhythms, with abundant rains compared to previous years. The summer period has given us a favorable climate, with good water presence thanks to the unusual rainfall of the months of July and August. This presence of rain also characterized the harvest phase, certainly imprinting unique characteristics to the vintage, such as the persistence of the sensation of acidity.

HARVEST

28th SEPTEMBER TO 30th SEPTEMBER

VINIFICATION

Marzemino follows a traditional red winemaking process. After pressing and destemming, the grapes ferment directly in stainless steel tanks at a controlled temperature, using selected yeasts and extended skin maceration. During the first few days of alcoholic fermentation, in addition to the traditional techniques of pumping over and punching down, regular delestage operations are carried out to maximize the extraction of color and aromatic compounds from the grape skins. At the end of fermentation and maceration, the wine is racked and separated into “vino fiore” and pressed wine. Malolactic fermentation then takes place, transforming malic acid into lactic acid and giving the wine greater softness and roundness. A careful blending process follows, balancing the vino fiore with the pressed wine to achieve the desired structure and the right level of tannicity. The Marzemino then matures in stainless steel tanks, where it naturally settles and clarifies. Finally, the wine undergoes a six-month bottle refinement before release.

SENSORY ANALYSIS

Deep ruby red color with violet highlights. On the nose it has a large bouquet, which ranges from the typical violet floral note of Marzemino, to small red fruits such as blackberry and blueberry. In the mouth it is enveloping, structured and with good tannins. These characteristics are the emblem of the original vineyard.

FOOD PAIRINGS

It perfectly accompanies braised meats and rich flavour and spiced meat. Excellent with long-aged cheeses.
