Martino s. Marrucina\u003c\/strong\u003e, in a hilly context located about 400 meters above sea level, from vineyards situated in the areas of Colle di Paolo, Fonte Filippo, Schiavone, and Colle Rosina. The combination of exposure, altitude, and vineyard management contributes to defining a harmonious profile, where the maturity of the fruit integrates with good natural freshness. The vinification involves fermentation in steel for 15-20 days and a prolonged maceration of 20-30 days, followed by aging for 12-18 months in new barriques, a choice that imparts complexity, volume, and a more enveloping taste structure. With its 14.5% vol., the \u003cstrong\u003eMontepulciano d'Abruzzo Riserva Marina Cvetic\u003c\/strong\u003e expresses a decisive, modern, and well-recognizable style.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTasting notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn the glass, it presents a deep and intense red color, typical of the grape variety. On the nose, it offers ripe and enveloping aromas, with sensations of red and black fruits, spicy notes, and more complex hints related to wood aging. On the palate, it is full, structured, and persistent, with a soft entry that gives way to a tannic texture that is present but well integrated. The freshness balances the alcoholic richness and supports the sip, while the finish is long and coherent, with an elegant imprint and good depth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eRecommended pairings\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eMontepulciano d'Abruzzo 2017 DOC Riserva Marina Cvetic\u003c\/strong\u003e pairs extremely well with flavorful and structured dishes.
