Marina Cvetić

Montepulciano and Syrah from Abruzzo's limestone hills.

Marina Cvetić works with the distinctive terroir of Abruzzo, in central Italy's Apennine foothills. The winery focuses on two principal expressions: Montepulciano, the region's signature red grape, and Syrah. The Iskra Montepulciano d'Abruzzo Riserva demonstrates the depth and structure that Montepulciano achieves in these limestone-rich soils—a wine that has drawn attention from Wine Advocate, Falstaff, Wine Enthusiast, Decanter, and Wine Spectator. Alongside this flagship sits a Syrah that reflects both the grape's peppery character and Abruzzo's continental climate. The winery's output centers on these two varieties, each capturing the mineral precision and aging potential that define serious Abruzzese winemaking.
