Marciliano is a truly ambitious Cabernet cuvée from the Sangiovese-dominated Montecchio/Orvieto region and reflects uncompromising quality and craftsmanship. The 2019 vintage was characterised by mild but structure-enhancing weather conditions: cool nights during the harvest phase and warm days that perfectly balanced the ripeness of the aromas. In the glass, it has a dense ruby red colour with a garnet red hue. The nose intones ripe sour cherry, stewed plums, ripe wild berries, and further develops smoke, leather, hints of white truffle and a touch of vanilla and cedar wood. Powerful yet polished on the palate – clearly structured, with fine-grained, ripe tannins, lively acidity and a substrate-rich, spicy texture. The ageing in barriques was selectively dosed and supports the spiciness without masking the varietal typicity. Marciliano is a serious, mature red wine with depth and potential. Expressive, focussed and with a lasting finish – a lasting ambassador of modern Umbria. SUPERIORE.DE

"Deep dark ruby red, only very slight garnet-coloured rim brightening, almost impenetrable. Compact, elegant nose, ripe cherry fruit, coffee beans and Mediterranean herbs. Juicy on the palate, lots of marzipan, builds up a lot of pressure, ripe tannins with refreshing acidity, lingering final characterised by fruit and wood spice, lots of future potential." Falstaff

"The pink-coloured bouquet impresses with dusty blackcurrants, fresh mint, lavender and stone dust. The wine is decidedly soft and round, with a plush fruit structure and juicy acidity that brings out notes of black raspberries and cherries on the palate. Its structure emerges late and envelops the palate until the final. Fine-grained tannins provide tension, while notes of salted liquorice and redcurrants fade away." Vinous

"This vintage is integrated and drinking very nicely at the moment. It is expressive and bright with good power and fruit identity that comes forth as plum and blackberry. I would have expected more thickness and concentration in this vintage, but the wine remains quite streamlined and elegant hroughout." Wine Advocate
