Marzemino

The Marzemino grape is originally from Veneto but it is now cultivated in Trentino, Lombardy, Friuli Venezia Gulia and Emilia Romagna and initially included different grape varieties, sometime very different from each other. Nowadays, the grape is divided into two main groups, the Marzemino Gentile and the Marzemina Padovano. The wines obtained from this grape are sparkling or “abboccati” (medium sweet) when grown in Emilia or Veneto and light red wines if grown in Trentino Alto Adige and Lombardy
