Story: Marzemino | Grape variety



Marzemino is a red grape variety native to northern Italy. The grape variety is believed to have originated in the Trentino-Alto Adige region and has been cultivated since the 16th century. Marzemino is grown mainly in the regions of Trentino, Veneto and Friuli Venezia Giulia and is known for its fruity and spicy aromas.

Marzemino grapes are small and have a dark blue color. Wines made from Marzemino have a ruby red color and a pleasant aroma of red berries, cherries and spices such as cinnamon and cloves. The taste is dry and tannic, but also soft and elegant.

Marzemino is a versatile grape variety, used both as a single grape variety and as part of blends. It is often blended with other indigenous grape varieties such as Teroldego and Lagrein to produce complex and interesting wines.

One of the most famous uses of Marzemino is in Mozart's opera 'Don Giovanni', in which the title character enjoys a glass of Marzemino and refers to it as 'Vinum Nigrum Non Gallicum' ('black wine, but not from Gaul'). This has helped Marzemino become better known in the wine world and is now appreciated by many wine connoisseurs.

Despite its popularity, Marzemino's acreage is relatively limited, which contributes to it being a rather rare grape variety. However, some wineries in Italy, particularly in the Trentino region, specialize in the production of Marzemino wines and offer a range of excellent wines made from this grape variety.

Overall, Marzemino is a fascinating grape variety that has a long history and a variety of uses. It is an excellent choice for wine lovers looking for a unique and interesting grape variety. If you have the opportunity to taste a Marzemino wine, don't miss it. - Gerardo [TS05/23]
