Product information on "Marinus - Il Conte Villa Prandone"
The Marinus from the traditional winery Il Conte Villa Prandone is an expressive red wine with a Mediterranean character and a balanced structure. In the glass, it shines in an intense ruby red with violet reflections, which already reflects its concentration and vitality.
On the nose, it reveals a complex, multi-layered bouquet that combines mineral and slightly earthy notes with aromas of black cherry, plum jam, and dark chocolate. This aroma profile is complemented by subtle nuances of spices, tobacco, blackberries, and a delicate leather note, which give the wine additional depth and character.
The particular strength of Marinus lies in its careful and expertly precise vinification:
The grapes are fermented and macerated on the skins for 18 days, creating intense color, tannin structure, and aromatic density. The wine then matures for 12 months in used oak barrels (second passage) – enough to give structure and elegance without letting the wood dominate. A final bottle maturation of 3 months completes the overall picture and ensures a harmonious, perfectly integrated interplay of aromas.
On the palate, Marinus is juicy, balanced, and structured, with a symphony of ripe dark fruit, fine spices, and a polished tannin structure. The mouthfeel is soft, enveloping, and elegant; the well-integrated acidity provides freshness and balance. In the long, harmonious finish, notes of bitter chocolate, blackberries, and spicy herbs emerge, leaving a lasting impression.
A versatile red wine that convinces both on its own and as a food companion.
