The palate is lush and full with fine tannins and great structure. This is the pride of the Bove family estate in Avezzano, established in 1930. One of the oldest family-run wineries in Abruzzo, the best parcels are carefully hand-selected for this top cuvee from the estate. Aging is conducted in both cement (1/3) and French Allier barrels (2/3) for 12-14 months before bottling. The wine rests in bottle until completely mature before release. Marso is dedicated to the “Marsi” people who settled the Abruzzo territory in the 1st millennium BC. In 91 BC they fought the Roman empire for citizenship which led to the unification of the Roman states making way for the Roman Empire.
