Vinea Marson Sangiovese 2021
$46.00
2021 has delivered an exceptional, but different Vinea Marson Sangiovese. It’s deeply ripened, dark-fruited and fleshy, with a wonderful drive of plush but gentle, seamless fruit and extract. More like a Rosso di Montalcino than the more traditional Chianti-like expression from this vineyard, it’s deeply spiced, perfumed and heady. Underpinned by a fine, powdery and superbly integrated backbone, it’s superbly varietal and balanced, finishing quite savoury with refreshing acids, a lingering sandpapery grip and a wonderful drive of dark red fruit.

Vinea Marson
Mario Marson left a long and distinguished incumbency with Dr John Middleton at Mount Mary before heading to Heathcote in 1999 to develop his own vineyard. One of the dictums he picked up from Middleton was to focus on multi-clonal vineyards, something that was reinforced to him while spending time in Italy, especially with Paolo di Marchi at Isole e Olena. Marson's wines are about an un-Heathcote-like as most wine drinkers could imagine, since they deftly marry the perfume and brightness of (comparatively) early-harvested fruit with subtle and savoury qualities. His varietal selections enable him to explore his Italian heritage and contribute to the broadening spectrum of quality wine in Victoria.
