Description

At the "heart" of Masciarelli history. From the private and professional bond between John and Marina was born in 1991 the product line that bears his name. With no less than 6 references, the Marina Cvetic line is characterized by the presence of international grape varieties in purity (Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Chardonnay) by side in Montepulciano and Trebbiano. The reading that it offers is original and character: structured and elegant wines Marina Cvetic are a "lone voice" for the most demanding and technically savvy.

Taste

Taste

On the palate, almost bordolese impact due to the tartaric vein, induced by the cold vintage, and the studied, classic balance that sustains the correspondence of pulpy and spicy fruit, sagaciously compensated by beautiful tannic grit that gives it character.

"I think everyone has asked themselves at least once, -Who makes me do it? I find the answer in the destiny of my family, in the love I bring to my land and in the satisfaction I receive from my work".
Gianni Masciarelli.

Undoubtedly, this is the winery that speaks the most about Abruzzo as the land of wine in Italy and around the world. Gianni Masciarelli, the founder, and Marina Cvetic, his life and professional partner, have always aimed for the best, investing in quality and innovation. A pioneer of modern winemaking in Abruzzo, Gianni Masciarelli initiated the profound renewal of winemaking practices that led to the gradual establishment of Abruzzo as a unique production area in Italy.
Thanks to his and Marina's determination, in just a few years Masciarelli has imposed a new and recognisable style in the production of native and International varieties and is now counted among the excellences of Italian wine.
