Via Marchizului Negru de Dragasani (Viile Metamorfosis) 2020 ［ヴィア・マルキーズルイ・ネグル・デ・ドラガシャニ］ (ルーマニア / 赤 / 固有品種・スパイシー)

■ 外観: A deep, authoritative ruby red with elegant purple reflections.

■ 香り: An intensely rich, evolving bouquet. Vibrant notes of Morello cherry, black cherry, cassis, and red plum mingle with lavender, thyme, and eucalyptus. Extended aging in large Italian oak barrels weaves in luxurious layers of dark chocolate, cocoa, espresso, tobacco, toffee, and clove, with emerging hints of cedar, fig, and forest floor.

■ 味わい: A powerful and striking entry showcasing incredible fruit concentration. Ripe dark cherries and rich cocoa dominate the palate, supported by firm acidity and abundant, structured tannins. The robust 16.0% alcohol is perfectly integrated, offering a full-bodied, age-worthy masterpiece that will only grow more voluptuous and velvety with time. The finish is remarkably long, echoing with sheer elegance.

Via Marchizului: The Marquis's Vineyard
Captivated by the immense potential of Romanian viticulture, the legendary Marquis Piero Antinori purchased a small, prized plot in Dealu Mare, naming it "Via Marchizului" (The Marquis's Vineyard). Crafted by the visionary Metamorfosis estate and guided by renowned viticulturist Fiorenzo Rista, this exclusive, low-yield wine represents the absolute pinnacle of the rare Negru de Drăgășani grape. Sourced from a tiny 1.69-hectare plot, the grapes are meticulously hand-harvested and sorted berry by berry to ensure only the absolute best fruit is used.

Recommended perfect matches for this wine:

• ■ Wagyu Steak & Ribeye: The dense, structured tannins slice perfectly through the rich marbling of premium Wagyu, beautifully balancing the savory fats.
• ■ Bolognese Lasagna & Rich Ragu Pasta: The deep dark fruit and herbaceous notes of thyme and lavender brilliantly elevate rich, slow-cooked meat sauces.
• ■ Smoked Meats, Game (Gibier), & Aged Cheeses: The wine's own oak-driven notes of tobacco, cocoa, and cedar perfectly echo the earthy, robust profiles of smoked ham, venison, and hard cheeses.

Via Marchizului Vineyard, Vadu Sapat, Dealu Mare
Situated at a latitude of 45° with an elevation of 261-273m, this specific southwest-facing slope benefits from perfect sun exposure. The unique soil composition of pebbles, marl, and clay naturally restricts vine vigor, resulting in highly concentrated grapes packed with intense flavor and structure.
