THE WINE
Maronea is our interpretation of pure Cabernet Sauvignon, a wine that brings together intensity, structure and a natural ability to age gracefully.
It comes from our vineyards in Bolgheri, where clay and sandy soils, combined with the Mediterranean climate, contribute to the grapes' depth and distinctive character.
Spontaneous fermentation and ageing in French oak create a rich and complex wine, where aromas of ripe fruit meet elegant notes of coffee, truffle and spices.
Maronea is a Bolgheri Superiore created for those who appreciate great red wines, revealing its personality from the very first sip while gaining further elegance as the years go by.

WINEMAKING AND AGEING
Winemaking
Fermentation takes place in stainless steel tanks at a controlled temperature of 26–28°C for approximately 25 days.
The process is carried out by indigenous yeasts naturally present on the grapes, while malolactic fermentation occurs spontaneously during ageing.
Ageing
The wine matures in medium-toasted French oak barriques, using first- and second-use barrels, allowing it to develop aromatic complexity and depth.
This is followed by 6 months of bottle ageing, during which the wine continues its maturation.
