Aromas are lifted and perfumed, with dark red fruit, menthol, blood orange and cinnamon, and the tannins are silky rather than severe. It spends about 18 months in old tonneaux, so the fruit and the stony finish stay in front. Drink it over the next decade, or hold it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFOOD PAIRING\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBraised beef, wild game, aged Parmigiano, lamb with rosemary.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTHE WINEMAKER\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eMarco Ferrari grew up in Franciacorta, then spent several years in the northern Rhône with Franck Balthazar, learning from Thierry Allemand and the Gonon family, before a year at ArPePe in Valtellina. He launched his own estate in 2019 on steep, hand-built stone terraces above the Adda. No artificial fertilisers, herbicides or pesticides, everything picked by hand, spontaneous fermentations, whole bunches when the stems are ripe, and nothing fined or filtered.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Marco Ferrari","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40990345429045,"sku":"","price":56.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0297\/7208\/7349\/files\/ChatGPT_Image_Sep_28_2026_at_09_35_33_AM.png?v=1790584576","url":"https:\/\/shop.passionevino.co.uk\/products\/marco-ferrari-inferno-2023","provider":"Passione Vino","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
