Vallarom Marzemino 2020 Trentino

At last a delicious, fresh and scented marzemino grape from the Vallagarina, a special terroir in the Dolomite mountains just north of Lake Garda. A distant relative of syrah this is lissom, crunchy and moreish with plenty of aromatic cherry and a touch of pencil shaving reminiscent of an airy cab franc. Cries out for air dried hams and softer cheeses like Fontina.
