Martissima

Collio DOCG | Cormons

The name comes from jokes among Marta Venica’s friends. They added the “issima” to emphasize what she winkingly calls her “superlatively good, but above all, bad sides.” Marta launched her project in 2019 with the idea of giving fresh expression to practices rooted in tradition: organic farming carried out by hand and horse, and a focus on Collio’s native and traditional grapes vinified for freshness, texture, and verve. She makes just two wines. Each is a lyrical, free verse poem to nature, spirit, and place.

Martissima 2022 Collio Rosso

Marta’s Collio Rosso is made from Friulian varieties - Merlot (in Friuli since replanting post phylloxera) and Refosco - It drinks somewhere stylistically like something from a wine made north or south of Lyon. Think Nothern Rhone meets Beaujolais.
