バザリン
Basarin
RedNebbiolo
Barbaresco Basarin is Adriano Marco e Vittorio's flagship single-vineyard Nebbiolo, grown on the Basarin cru in San Rocco Seno d'Elvio near Alba. Fermented and macerated with traditional Piedmontese methods, it is aged around 12 months in large Slavonian oak barrels (30-50 hl) followed by further bottle refinement before release, giving a wine of violet and rose aromatics, licorice and spice, with dry, aristocratic tannins that reward patient cellaring.
バザリン・リゼルヴァ
Basarin Riserva
RedNebbiolo
The Riserva bottling of Basarin is held back for extended aging under Barbaresco DOCG Riserva rules, giving a deeper, more concentrated expression of the cru. Expect strawberry compote, plump dark cherry and baking spice on the nose, and a juicy, warmly structured palate with the extra time in cask and bottle bringing added complexity and softness to the tannins.
サナダイヴェ
Sanadaive
RedNebbiolo
Sanadaive is Adriano Marco e Vittorio's second single-vineyard Barbaresco, sourced from the Sanadaive plot in San Rocco Seno d'Elvio. Aged around a year in medium-sized oak casks (35-50 hl), it tends to show a lighter, more perfumed profile than Basarin, with dried rose, spice, and a touch of smoked meat on the nose, framed by firm, refined tannins.
トイウ
Tòiu
RedBarbera
Tòiu is Adriano Marco e Vittorio's Barbera d'Alba Superiore, a deep ruby red with aromas of ripe black cherry, plum, and wild berries layered with spice, cocoa, and a gentle touch of oak. Vibrant acidity balances the generous fruit, with fine tannins carrying through to a long, savory finish.
カイナッサ
Cainassa
RedNebbiolo
Cainassa is Adriano Marco e Vittorio's Langhe Nebbiolo, an approachable expression of the variety refined in steel rather than oak. It offers delicate floral fragrance — dried violet and red fruit — with a graceful, food-friendly palate, fresh acidity, and velvety tannins.
リーチェ
Lice
RedFreisa
Lice is Adriano Marco e Vittorio's Langhe Freisa, an intense ruby-red red wine with winey, fruit-forward aromas recalling cherry, strawberry, raspberry, and rose. Crisp and fragrant, it carries moderate body balanced by correct, gently earthy tannins.
