Fattoria Zerbina

A wine of refinement and enviable balance, it carries its beautiful concentration and fruitiness without fuss. SUPERIORE.DE

Marzieno presents itself as a complex and fresh Sangiovese with small portions of Cabernet and Merlot that give it depth. In its dynamic taste with a long finish, it relies above all on the substance of its abundant, elegant tannins and a very serious fruit. SUPERIORE.DE

Great Riserva from Romagna, which clearly shows what high quality is possible in this area. The grapes come from vineyards over twenty years old with weathered red clay soils and deliver a powerful wine with a territorial fingerprint and finesse. SUPERIORE.DE

"Deep, rich ruby with garnet. Ripe wild berries and cherries on the nose, delicate leather spice, harmonious. Very dense and compact on the palate, multi-layered, builds up big, massive with lots of pressure, substantial and long." Falstaff

Finest selection from Albana grapes. Golden yellow, intense bouquet with the typical aromas of the grape variety such as citrus and peach, plus a sweet honey note. Wide, harmonious and long-lasting on the palate. SUPERIORE.DE

Light golden yellow. The dense bouquet exudes the scent of quince and dried apricots, with high viscosity in the glass and on the palate. The high residual sugar is countered by a racy acidity. Orange peel aroma in the long finish. SUPERIORE.DE

The 2016 vintage is the debut for Zerbina's single-vineyard Sangiovese (< 1,000 bottles) proves what great Sangiovese Romagna can produce. Dark-fruited, full nose with a cornucopia of dark berry fruits and hints of forest floor, tar and white ash. Firm on the palate, enormously complex, the concentrated fruit gradually opens up with further airing and a Sangiovese work of art is revealed that could not be more typical, pure and at the same time more complex. Great compliment!  SUPERIORE.DE

"Rich, intense ruby red. In the nose of ripe, red berries, delicate leather spice underlaid with a balsamic tone. Balanced on the palate with well-integrated wood tannin, juicy melt, grippy and punchy, well balanced, long, salty final." Falstaff

"Lustrous ruby. Pure, dark-fruit nose and only very little impact of the oak. Firm tannins but embedded in concentrated fruit that is still very tightly wound and long. This will need plenty of age to show its true colours. Great potential." Jancis Robinson

"For years Cristiana Geminani, the Grande Dame of Romagna, has been instrumental in pushing the region to great heights. The first to reintroduce stake-trained bush vines in her vineyards while firmly promoting 100% Sangiovese, she has reached the pinnacle with this show-stopper wine. Firm tannins frame concentrated, tightly wound fruit. It needs further age to show its enormous potential." Decanter

"The 2016 Romagna Sangiovese Monografia is a true beauty, boasting an incredibly precise and linear personality that drives a very long and elegant finish. This wine delivers the goods in terms of intensity and aromatic purity. Purple and red berry fruits cede to moist earth, smoke and camphor ash. I love that polished, almost glossy quality. Fruit comes from a single vineyard shaped like an amphitheater and surrounded by forests. Only 660 bottles were made." Robert Parker
