Marzieno

Ravenna Rosso IGP

Produced in the wake of the Tuscan experience of the mid 1980s, in which Sangiovese was often blended with noble foreign varieties, Marzieno over the years has built its own personality and, above all, its own credibility. So much so, that it is considered by critics to be among the few red wines of our region able to compete with the best Italian wines of its type. Starting from the 2001 vintage, while keeping a solid framework of Sangiovese, Marzieno has been blended with Cabernet Sauvignon and other varieties, such as Syrah and Merlot. Our favorite vintages are 1990, 1995, 1998, 2001, 2006, 2008, 2011 and 2016.
