Cerasuolo d’Abruzzo 2022

Abruzzo

July 06, 2026 - Villa Gemma Cerasuolo d’Abruzzo, first produced in 1986, represents one of the finest expressions of rosé in Italy. From the renowned Cerasuolo appellation, known for its deep, structured rosé made from Montepulciano d’Abruzzo, this wine combines rich dark cherry fruit with spicy, smoky notes. It is fleshy and full, with surprising depth and length, making it a rosé versatile enough for the dinner table. The wine’s complexity and structure garner press reviews often reserved for reds, further solidifying its place in Italian wine history.

Wine Enthusiast - March 06, 2024 "The nose balances sweet aromas of cherry and strawberry with umami notes of leather and warm brick, while the lively palate fizzes with acid and more astringent fruit flavors, and…

Trebbiano d’Abruzzo Riserva 2022

Abruzzo

July 06, 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.

Vinous - September 30, 2024 "The 2022 Trebbiano d'Abruzzo Riserva mixes a pretty whiff of sweet oak spice, vanilla bean, hints of sawdust and ripe yellow apples. It's seamless and silky in feel, with fresh…

Wine Enthusiast - July 19, 2024 "The nose is fresh and citric, with aromas of the sea, lemons, limes, white flowers and fresh pineapple. The palate plumps up that pineapple note, but a continued current of…

Wine Spectator - 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."

Montepulciano d’Abruzzo Riserva 2021

Abruzzo

July 06, 2026 - The Montepulciano Marina Cvetic is an intense, remarkable expression of one of Abruzzo’s historic vines. Sourced from eight of the estate’s top parcels, it shows the heights Montepulciano can achieve with richness, depth, and balance. While Villa Gemma is Masciarelli’s most famous Montepulciano, the only Italian wine to win the Tre Bicchieri award 14 times, many see Marina Cvetic as its equal in quality, differing only in style and often benefiting from a blend across varied altitudes and soils.

Wine Spectator - December 31, 2025 "Supple and graceful, this starts off slowly on the palate, but the fine mesh of crushed raspberry and chopped cherry fruit, dried rosemary, paprika, white pepper and tar quickly gains…
