## Summary

Named for the "marin," the sea wind that crosses the Langhe hills, this Riesling-Nascetta blend is built for real aging, spending three years in bottle before release.

## Tasting notes

Luminous straw yellow with a very fresh nose of white peach, citrus and rosemary, turning mineral with time. The acidity is classic Riesling, balanced by a savoury richness and a long, intense finish.

## Food pairings

Shellfish, delicate seafood, light appetizers
