2020 Nagual del MARZO

50% Sangiovese, 40% Cabernet Sauvignon, 10% Barbera. This is a subtle, elegant restrained wine with just a kiss of oak from its 20 months in large Botte/Casks. Of all of our wines, the MARZO has led the way in showcasing our submerged cap and extended maceration approach in the cellar. Fantastic old world results. 6 bottle limit per customer.

Marzo

Located right on Oak Creek, this 2.5 acre plot is home to Sangiovese and Cabernet Sauvignon. Approx 3500 ft. Sandy, clay-loam river sediment on top of a bed of volcanic rock peppered calcareous (chalky, alkaline “limestone-like”) sediments derived from a larger geologic structure called the Verde formation. These grapes are generally slated to be the major components of Nagual del Marzo, as well as the occasional VSC and Rosé offerings. This site also hosts our Merkin Vineyards Orchard and Garden produce used at the Merkin Osteria in Old Town Cottonwood and Caduceus Cellars Tasting Room in Jerome, AZ.
