Masciarelli Marina Cvetić Trebbiano d’Abruzzo Riserva 2021
Abruzzo
June 10, 2026 - The Trebbiano Riserva Marina Cvetic represents the ultimate expression of one of Abruzzo’s historic vines. Like Montepulciano, Trebbiano was once considered a workhorse grape without real potential. This wine changed that view completely, offering an original, full-bodied, and elegant interpretation with its own character. Marina Cvetic wines are known as a “lone voice” for the most demanding and technical experts. Explosive, concentrated golden fruit leads to a rich, floral, and spicy palate. This wine represents a true revolution for Trebbiano and Italian whites.
Wine and Spirits - January 25, 2024 "A rich texture and notes of vanilla and spice make this a stand-in for oak-aged chardonnay. Pair its light bitterness with pasta in a garlic and anchovy sauce."
