Marzemino
A northern Italian varietal, Marzemino produces fresh, medium-bodied reds with red berry, violet, and herbal notes. Light yet structured, it has soft tannins and bright acidity, making it a food-friendly choice. Often overshadowed by bigger Italian reds, it offers a charming, aromatic profile. Some producers experiment with aging to enhance its depth, but it is typically best enjoyed young. It pairs well with mushroom dishes, roasted poultry, and risotto. Mozart famously mentioned Marzemino in Don Giovanni, cementing its place in wine history.
