The 2002 Marzieno is a successful effort for this damp, dank vintage with its well fused red and blackberry fruit, light oak and minerals, and satisfying length. Though there a few tannins to lose, I would opt for drinking the wine reasonably soon – I have many doubts about the potential for improvement of the wines of the vintage.
I occasionally wonder if I should write about the wines of Cristina Geminani, the owner-winemaker of this estate, one of the most talented women in Italian wine. It is not so much for the fact that I have known her for close to twenty years, but due to the close working relationship I once had with her husband Alessandro Masnaghetti, a former nuclear engineer who has become one of Italy’s most serious and informed writers on wine. But I don’t think I have any problems of objectivity in this case, and about the quality of the wines there is little to discuss – this is the leading estate in Emilia-Romagna, has been so for fifteen years, and it cannot be ignored.
