The 2021 Marselan Reserva offers a captivating expression of the Marselan grape, showcasing a deep red color and a complex bouquet of red fruits, mineral notes, and subtle hints of mint and eucalyptus. On the palate, it is soft yet structured, with velvety tannins and a long, flavorful finish. The wine is fresh, smoky, and crunchy, with wild cherries, blueberries, and a touch of cocoa powder on the nose. Aged for 6-12 months in stainless steel tanks and 50 HL bottis, it reveals excellent texture and great personality. With an alcohol content of 12.5%, this wine is ideal for pairing with roasted meats, hearty casseroles, or strong cheeses.
