Tasting Notes
Marsiliana is considered a true Bordeaux blend cru thanks to its history and perseverance.
Dark, compact ruby red with youthful, consistent reflections, it offers intense, defined aromas of blackberries and blueberries, cloves and juniper berries, black pepper, and oriental spices.
The sip is compact and voluptuous, silky in its tannic expression and supported by an interplay of freshness and salinity that gives the wine a highly satisfying drinkability despite its austere nature.
Bonus: depth.
