2002 Marzemino — Cassine di Pietra



A Rare Expression from Northern Italy


Marzemino is a captivating red grape variety native to northern Italy, known for its delicate charm and expressive aromatics. The 2002 vintage from Cassine di Pietra offers a rare glimpse into this grape’s character at maturity. Crafted with great care and patience, this wine embodies the essence of artisanal Italian winemaking, showcasing purity, elegance, and a sense of place.

Fragrant and Alluring Aromas


The bouquet of this 2002 Marzemino is refined and inviting, with aromas of wild violets, black cherries, and crushed raspberries layered with subtle hints of herbs and sweet spice. As it opens, delicate floral tones and soft earthy notes emerge, adding depth and intrigue. On the palate, it is medium-bodied, smooth, and gracefully balanced, offering juicy red fruit, gentle tannins, and a refreshing, lingering finish.

Elegant Maturity and Unexpected Longevity


Despite its reputation as a lighter red, this 2002 Marzemino has aged beautifully, gaining complexity and softness over time. The mature nuances make it a fascinating choice for wine enthusiasts seeking something distinctive and underappreciated. It is a testament to the dedication of Cassine di Pietra in preserving the true expression of this historic variety.

A Versatile Table Companion


This Marzemino pairs effortlessly with a wide range of dishes, from delicate pasta with mushroom ragù to roasted poultry, grilled vegetables, or mild aged cheeses. Its gentle structure and bright acidity make it an ideal partner for both everyday meals and special occasions, inviting conversation and enhancing the dining experience.

Serving & Enjoying


Serve the 2002 Marzemino slightly below room temperature, around 16–18°C (60–64°F), to highlight its aromatic finesse and elegant fruit profile. Decanting for 30–45 minutes can help unlock its more subtle, evolved aromas. Whether shared at a leisurely dinner or savored quietly, this wine offers a graceful, authentic taste of northern Italy.
