Syrah Queen included Masciarelli Marina Cvetic Iskra 2015 in a roundup of wines to consider gifting this season. The writer offers background on the Serbian work Iskra, meaning spark, and how Gianni Masciarelli named this wine in honor of his Serbian wife, Marina Cvetic.
“Made from a single-vineyard cru of Montepulciano d’Abruzzo, ISKRA is a wine of extraordinary distinction and depth. Inky ruby. Bright, flinty, smoky notes complement the dark, spicy plum aromas and flavors. Herbal nuances add a complicating touch on the long finish. Plenty of oak here, but it’s well integrated.” Read the full review HERE
