90 Points ”Black cherry skin, asphalt and charred rubber. Slivers of red raspberry compote and paprika spice. A wealth of elevated acidity and grainy tannins with some sightings of fleshy barbera throughout. This speaks of the sangiovese frame and stature more than it does of barbera's gently rolling curves. A wine that would stand up well for tomato-based slow cooked meats.” Wine Companion
Quantity:
Marco is a blend of two First Ridge Italian grape varieties – Barbera and Sangiovese. Marco fuses Barbera’s deep blue/black colour and bold flavours with Sangiovese’s more savoury characters and acid-etched finish. The combination enhancing and elongating the finish make a perfect duet.
