The Marzemino grape comes from northern Italy. It produces ripe red wines with green acidity and a tangy cherry fruit flavor. They are best enjoyed young and can be slightly sparkling.
Trentino is the region where Marzemino originates, although you can occasionally find it in neighboring regions like Lombardy or Veneto. But there, they prefer to blend it. For example, with Sangiovese, Gropello, or Merlot. Marzemino is related to Lagrein, another Northern Italian red grape. Both have Teroldego as their father.
Mozart's Don Giovanni drinks a glass of Marzemino in the eponymous opera, just before he is swallowed by hell, while exclaiming, "Versa il vino! Excellente Marzemino!" We'd rather choose a different wine for the last supper...
