Cellar for up to 10 years. No need to decant before serving. Although Gianni Masciarelli sadly passed away in 2008, his remarkable legacy lives on through his wife Marina and oldest daughter Miriam who now run the 900-acre estate together. Gianni became a leading light in Abruzzo’s wine industry after founding his own winery in 1981. The visionary winemaker insisted on very low yields in the vineyards and using modern winemaking techniques at a time when many of his neighbours were producing relatively low quality bulk wines. Gianni’s hard work earned the Masciarelli estate a total of 29 Tre Bicchieri awards and rave reviews from many of the top international wine critics. In 1991 he created the Marina Cvetic line of wines named after his wife which express the estate’s finest terroirs. This graceful white is made with fruit from two specific vineyards in the village of San Martino sulla Marrucina. Once in the winery the fruit is pressed and fermented in new French oak barrels for 15-30 days followed by 12 months of ageing in the barrel. Ripe peach, mango and apricots dominate on the nose along with more delicate hints of honeysuckle, toasted oak, and gentle spice. The first sip reveals a bright acidity, smooth, well-rounded texture, and a long finish seasoned with notes of vanilla, baking spice and freshly-baked bread. A great wine to serve alongside roast chicken, pan-fried salmon, or more hearty dishes like lasagna and aubergine parmigiana.
