Named after the rare Marsican Bear, native to Frank’s father Bruno’s homeland, Abruzzo. The same bear can be seen in the night sky over Italy forming the Ursa Major, a constellation that has been a navigational reference point for millennia. Marsican is a tribute to Frank Mitolo’s heritage and his fathers enduring influence and guidance.

Tasting notes:

APPEARANCE: Clear, deep ruby with bright ruby rim.
BOUQUET: Deep and brooding with black cherry, dark chocolate, coffee and freshly turned earth. Aromas are clear and well delineated.
PALATE: Complex, layered & fine with terrific finesse. It opens with ripe black cherry, mocha and sweet spices unfolding silkily across the palate. Despite its power and polish, it has remarkable elegance with all its components in beautiful balance. Fine, ripe tannins and perfectly judged acidity frame it all boding well for excellent cellaring potential. While rich and expressive now, the greatest rewards await those with the patience to allow it to slowly evolve in a cool cellar.

Review:

96 points, Robert Parker, Wine Advocate

A terrific effort, the 2015 Marsican Shiraz is a 220-case barrel selection of the best Shiraz in the cellar. It’s an artful blend of fruity (blackberries and blueberries) and savory (black olives and roasted meat) in a full-bodied, creamy-textured package. Rich, supple and long, it’s a true beauty, ending with elegance and aplomb.
