Tasting Notes

Named after Stèfen, the ancient surname of the De Stefani family recorded in documents dating to 1624, this single-vineyard Marzemino is one of the winery's signature wines. The grapes are naturally dried before fermentation, reviving an historic winemaking tradition from Refrontolo, followed by extended maturation in small oak casks. The result is a dry, deeply coloured wine with an intense bouquet of ripe wild berries and violet. The palate is full and generous, with flavours of ripe Morello cherry and blackberry, supported by fine tannins and a long, warming finish. A wine built for the table and for cellaring, with the structure to develop further over time. Excellent with game, spit-roasted meats and mature cheeses, or served as a contemplative wine.
