Main Features: Ruby red intense colour with slight burgundy hues. Scent typically of very ripe fruits and slightly toasted wood. Full, balanced taste tending to velvety with notes of ripe mussel plum and cherry, mulberry and blackberry. The feature which makes unique the Primitivo of Gioia del Colle is the toasted almond aftertaste.
Best at temperature: 18 - 20 C
Best with: Pasta with gravy, strong flavoured dishes like as meat, game, grilled fish and aged cheese. The Riserva Speciale is particularly pleasant with chocolate sweets.
Further information: The particular though unusual affinity of our red wines with spicy dishes of fish is owing to the fact that the vineyard is located in an area where originally was the sea. This assertion is confirmed by the finding of fossils during the detailed and profound excavation, which involved the breaking down of materials, to make the soil prepared for the plantation of the actual vineyard. This way to prepare the soil, in fact forms an innovative and adequate drainage system by way of fresh rain water, which allowed the land to remain subtle leading the way to richer soil and a more productive vine.

The legendary image of Marilyn Monroe has been a source of inspiration for Marilyn Wines since its first vintage in 1985.
Now, the effervescence of her beauty is celebrated with the release of Blonde de Noirs 2004 - an outstanding sparkling wine made in the true methode Champenoise - a hand-crafted blend of Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, and Pinot Meunier that honors tradition and expresses the qualities of its origins in California's North Coast growing regions.
Miss Monroe loved sparkling wines, and Blonde de Noirs captures her timeless allure.
The wine was aged an average of nearly two years en triage (on yeast in the bottle). On the palate, it shines brightly with delicate fruit and persistent sparkle. It will be sought by collectors as well as those - like Marilyn herself - who found a lovely glass of sparkling wine irresistible.
Marilyn Wines has previously released two vintages of sparkling wines. Cuvee One, Vintage 1990 and Cuvee Two, Vintage 1992, both sold out rapidly.
Blonde de Noirs 2004 (Cuvee Three), is certain to be even more sought after than its predecessors!
