Mitolo Marsican 2014 (96 JD)
“The tiny production 2014 Shiraz Marsican is a blend of the finest barrels in the winery and spent 14 months all in new oak. This beauty is another rich, concentrated, opulent Shiraz that gives up plenty of chocolaty dark fruits, graphite, lead pencil shavings, and crushed rock aromas and flavors. Similar in style to the Savitar, yet slightly more concentrated, this brilliant wine needs short-term cellaring and will keep for 10-15.”

Named after the rare Marsican bear, native to Frank’s father Bruno’s homeland, Abruzzo. The same bear can be seen in the night sky over Italy forming the Ursa Major – a constellation that has been a navigational reference point for ages. Marsican is a tribute to Frank Mitolo’s heritage and his fathers enduring influence and guidance.
