The Story: ​Le Marie is a small, family-run farm and
winery in Barge, which is in NW Piemonte near the French border. Barge sits at the foot of Monte Viso and Monte Bracco. The vineyards sit between 400-450M, some of which in the 1930s and survived WWII. The winery, like many, is in transition between generations as Valerio’s children, Simona and Daniele, take over. The winery was founded in 2000. They have 9.5ha in 14 plots. We found Le Marie through a conversation about a clone of Malvasia called Malvasia Moscata and the rest, as they say, is history. We have been so happy to find this family winery with so much history and fell in love with the Malvasia Moscata. In 2019 we added several new wines and will continue to add new wines from Le Marie in 2020.
Vineyard: The vineyards sit between 400-450M, some
of which in the 1930s and survived WWII. The vineyard is 9.5ha in 14 plots. A small vineyard beside the winery. 7-14 year old vines.
Vinification: All grapes are hand picked and destemmed. The grapes undergo a cold maceration and
then are put directly into steel.
Ageing:​ ​The wine is aged for 6 months in steel tanks.
Everything else you want to know about this wine: ​This is the wine that led us to Le Marie.
Malvasia Moscato is its own distinct clone of Malvasia. This is not the same grape used to make sweet wines around Asti. This wine is fermented totally dry. Le Marie has garnered much attention for their work with this grape and a new DOC is expected in 2020. All of the labels for the Le Marie wines are original art works that hang in the winery.
