Winemaking process:
The grapes come from four vineyards in San Martino sulla Marrucina at about 400 metres and are picked in mid-October. Each parcel is fermented separately, aged about a year in barriques, then blended and rested at least six months in bottle. The Marina Cvetić line is named after Gianni Masciarelli's wife, who has led the estate since 2008.
Interesting notes:
Made from one grape variety, with separately vinified parcels blended after barrel maturation.
