An Italian producer that needs no introduction, Gianni Masciarelli is the standard-bearer for the famed Abruzzo region. Named for his wife, the Marina Cvetic Riserva represents an intense and remarkable expression the estate’s top vineyards, the pinnacle of Montepulciano d'Abruzzo. Tre Bicchieri an astonishing 14 times, as soon as you open the bottle, you're hit with explosive aromas of dark-cherry compote and raspberry coulis. Dense, suave and deep, the cool-climate vineyards also give plentiful acidity, while keeping the alcohol in check. Don't miss this amazing 93+ point vintage!

"The 2016 Marina Cvetic Riserva is another beautiful release from this estate. Coming from 100% Montepulciano and aged in new barrels, it reveals a dense purple/plum color as well as unevolved notes of spiced blackberries, scorched earth, smoked herbs, chocolate, and spring flowers. It’s rich, medium to full-bodied, and powerful on the palate, with plenty of structure. It’s a beautiful wine, but the cellar will be your friend on this one. Hold bottles for another 3-4 years and it should evolve gracefully going forward." Jeb Dunnuck, 93+ Points

"The 2016 Montepulciano d'Abruzzo Riserva San Martino Rosso is a formidable wine that opens to a stirring presentation of luscious black fruit, spice, and licorice. The wine's density is extra rich and concentrated, but the magical aspect to the classic 2016 vintage is that the wine never appears too heavy or bold. Ultimately, there is a careful sense of measure and balance achieved here, despite the opulence and sheer exuberance of the material at hand. This is a bottle I drank and enjoyed immensely. This wine aged in new and neutral French oak for 12 to 18 months." The Wine Advocate, 93 Points
