Marie - Riesling

Marie is made from a selection of Rhine Riesling grapes, grown in soils of mixed composition – clayey and moderately calcareous – at an altitude of around 300 metres above sea level. ; this is why Marie has a pronounced minerality, thanks also to the significant daily temperature variation.

In its early years, Marie offers notes of peach and exotic fruit on the palate, whilst in later years sulphurous and hydrocarbon notes emerge, typical of the grape variety.

It is a wine that pairs well with fish-based first courses, grilled dishes and fish carpaccio, and is excellent as an aperitif. The ideal serving temperature is 6–8°C.

The Tosi family Winery is located in Montescano (Lombardy -Italy) – a town in the first hills of Oltrepò Pavese along the provincial road 201 Stradella – Zavattarello, between Stradella and Santa Maria della Versa. The wine production first started in the 60’s with siblings, Piero and Agostino, buying small lots of land. Through hard work and dedication, they started a new adventure in the wine and agricultural business. Their passion, commitment and love for their land will soon prove to be a source of satisfaction. The winery has been managed by Agostino’s sons, Massismo and Giuseppe for the past twenty years. They work with the same passion as their father did and are personally involved in the management of the vineyards and all the enological operations from bottling to sales.

The vineyards consists of 15 ha, mostly located in the municipality of Montù Beccaria and some in the nearby hills of Montescano and Castana.

The main varietals cultivated are: Croatina, Pinot Nero (50% of the total surface), White Riesling, WelschRiesling, Barbera (30% of the total surface). The rest consists of Malvasia Bianca di Candia, Moscato and some local varietals like Vespolina and Uva Rara.
