Trebbiano d’Abruzzo Riserva 2021

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.

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…

James Suckling - October 17, 2014 "Complex notes of cocoa, rose petals, mulberries and dried mint on the nose, followed by a layered, full-bodied and meaty palate. The tannins are resolving nicely."

Vinous - September 30, 2024 "The 2020 Montepulciano d'Abruzzo Riserva San Martino Rosso is darkly floral with a woodland-inspired bouquet that blends flowery underbrush with crushed ashen stones and dried black cherries. It's round and…

Wine Spectator - April 30, 2025 "A firm, sculpted red, with muscular tannins enmeshed in compact layers of black currant and boysenberry fruit, plus dried thyme, smoke and dark chocolate pudding accents. Hints of anise, paprika,…

Wine Spectator - September 16, 2025 "Medium-deep purple; aromas of blackberry, clove, myrtle and black plum - classic Montepulciano perfumes. Medium-bodied, with excellent ripeness, nicely balanced tannins and an round, clean finish."

Wine Enthusiast - March 06, 2024 "The nose is gamy and herbal, yet also subtly astringent, like a lamb steak garnished with herbs and accompanied by plum chutney. On the palate, that plum element swells and…
