Le Marie Rouge de Lissart

Le Marie Rouge de Lissart is a red wine from the Pinerolese Rosso DOC in Piedmont, Italy, produced by Azienda Agricola Le Marie. It is a field blend crafted from indigenous grape varieties including Barbera, Freisa, Bonarda, Chatus, and Neretta Cuneese, grown on very old vines, some dating back to the 1930s and having survived World War II. The wine's name, 'Lissart,' is a tribute to the historical name of the region, 'Eyssart.' The producer, Azienda Agricola Le Marie, is a family-run estate founded in 2000, committed to organic farming and preserving ancient viticultural heritage. The vineyard is situated in Assarti, a hamlet of Barge, at altitudes between 350-450 meters, on soils composed of red schist rich in minerals. The marginal climate and high altitude contribute to the unique character of the grapes.
