2024 Roeno Marzemino La Rua

Roeno is located on the border of Veneto and Alto Adige, east of Lake Garda. The family business was founded in the 1960s by Rolando Fugatti, who has since passed it on to the second generation: Roberta, Cristina, and Giuseppe. Roeno produces fresh, mountain-pure wines, characteristic of the region. They use the local specialty, Gewürztraminer, and create surprising red wines from the local grape varieties Marzemino and Terdoldego. They also use Müller Thurgau, Pinot Grigio, and Chardonnay.

The small DOC of Valdadige Terra dei Forte, located south of Trentino in the slightly larger region of Valdadige, has three characteristic wines: Pinot Grigio, Lambrusco and the red wine Casetta and nowadays also more Chardonnay as the relatively cool high-altitude area gives elegance to Chardonnay.

This Roeno is a 100% Marzemino. This indigenous grape is still found primarily in the hills and mountains of Trentino, where the ideal microclimate for the grape thrives. The vineyards are located on the southern slopes and are planted like pergolas.
After harvest, the grapes are destemmed and gently crushed. They are then fermented in stainless steel tanks at a controlled temperature. The grapes are regularly pumped over to obtain sufficient color and tannin (extraction). Afterward, the wine is aged in large French oak barrels to preserve maximum fruit and allow the tannins to blend.

In the glass, the wine has an intense ruby red color. The nose is intense and fruity, accompanied by hints of red fruit and black currant. On the palate, the wine is intense, fruity, and very pleasant. Its personality makes it ideal for red meat dishes, stews, and medium-aged cheeses, as well as roasted lamb with rosemary, garlic, and lemon. It is also a wine served chilled to accompany fish dishes.
