Villa Gemma

Villa Gemma Montepulciano d’Abruzzo Riserva

Montepulciano d'Abruzzo

Started in Gianni Masciarelli's grandfather's basement, Villa Gemma is the wine that announced Abruzzo to the world, showcasing what the region and grapes of Abruzzo could produce. Villa Gemma Montepulciano Riserva is the only Italian wine with 14 consecutive Tre Bicchieri awards and, more importantly, was the wine that established Abruzzo as capable of making truly distinct, extraordinary wines. Villa Gemma Montepulciano Riserva is a powerfully - almost undeniably - intense wine of character and complexity, with deep fruit and earthy, spicy secondary charachteristics that could only come from the Montepulciano grape in Abruzzo.

Villa Gemma Abruzzo Bianco

Abruzzo Bianco

While the Villa Gemma Montepulciano was the wine that announced Abruzzo to the world, the Bianco, created just a year later, further defined what the region and grapes of Abruzzo could produce. This wine, first released in 1985, speaks to the white grape varieties specific to the region and has become on of the most exciting wines produced at the estate.

Villa Gemma Cerasuolo d’Abruzzo

Abruzzo Cerasuolo

Perhaps the finest rosé production area in Italy, and one of the few appellations dedicated only to rosé, Cerasuolo has a long history of producing serious rosé, and showcasing how well the Montepulciano grape is adapted to rosé. Masciarelli first produced this wine in 1986, only 5 years after the winery was founded. With deep fruit and structure but no shortage of pleasure, it is a rosé you can take to the dinner table.

Marina Cvetić

Marina Cvetić is a Serbian-born vintner who has spent decades helping shape Abruzzo into one of Italy's most respected wine regions. She met Gianni Masciarelli in 1987, and their partnership, both personal and professional, pushed the estate toward international recognition; in 1991, Gianni named a wine after her, which later grew into its own acclaimed line. After Gianni's untimely passing in 2008, Marina took over leadership of Masciarelli, and continues to guide the estate's direction and quality standards today. She now runs the winery alongside her daughter, Miriam Lee Masciarelli.

Miriam Lee Masciarelli

Miriam Lee Masciarelli is Gianni and Marina's eldest daughter, and today leads Masciarelli alongside her mother. Having grown up within the estate, she has taken on the work of carrying its legacy forward, expanding both its production and its reach in international markets. Under her and Marina's shared leadership, the estate has grown its Food Project (olive oil, grappa, and other products), established Castello di Semivicoli as a wine-tourism destination, and broadened distribution through Gianni's Selection. She serves as one of the winery's leading ambassadors, regularly representing Masciarelli and the Villa Gemma line at tastings and events abroad.
