Contra Soarda Gaggion Marzemino Nero

This highly characterful and expressive volcanic red wine displays a brilliant ruby red color with vibrant violet highlights. The bouquet is intensely fragrant and complex, opening with a burst of fresh wild blackberries, dark cherries, and red currants, beautifully intertwined with intriguing notes of cracked black pepper, fresh violets, forest floor, and a distinctive smoky, flinty minerality. On the palate, it delivers a medium-bodied structure where a bright, juicy regional acidity perfectly balances a concentrated core of dark fruit. The mouthfeel is incredibly fluid, clean, and velvety, supported by fine-grained tannins that carry into a long, savory, and remarkably elegant finish defined by lingering spice and mineral tones.

Food Pairing: Complements roasted poultry, grilled pork loin chops, wild mushroom pasta dishes, traditional Venetian risottos, and medium-aged cheeses.
