Firm, upright reds with precise acidity and angular tannins, showing aromas of sour cherry, plum, dried herbs, leather, black tea and balsamic notes. Characteristically bitter, savoury finish. Star of Chianti Classico DOCG, Brunello di Montalcino DOCG, Vino Nobile di Montepulciano DOCG and Morellino di Scansano. Italy's most planted variety, a descendant of Ciliegiolo × Calabrese di Montenuovo.
Tiny Lombard DOC (~25 ha) on the Monte Netto hills south of Brescia. Marzemino is the signature red (≥40 % of the Rosso) — historic on Monte Netto since the Renaissance: medium-bodied with intense notes of black cherry, plum, fragrant violet and a touch of sweet spices, supple tannins and juicy flesh. Blended with Barbera, Sangiovese or Merlot. Turbiana (Trebbiano di Soave) as taut white with notes of citrus, almond and flowers.
