Maretti Langhe Rosso 2016

“A classic wine from the Old World in that this wine is more savoury, meaty and complex than the Madam Sass. The structure of the Marette is very different to the Madam Sass, compare and see the difference. This wine shows the classic high tannin and acid levels which speaks of Italian red wines.” – Lynnette Hudson, Experienced Winemaker & Advisor
Surrounded by the Alps on three sides in the country’s mountainous North West, Piedmont creates Italy’s finest red wines.  The 2015 Maretti Langhe Rosso weaves rich and opulent Barbera with the haunting aromas and structure of Nebbiolo before maturation in small and large format oak.  This powerful and savoury wine will continue to gain complexity and character for many years.
91 Points/ Sam Kim, Wine Orbit “Deeply savoury and engaging, the bouquet shows dark fruit, smoked game, leather, dried herb and toasted almond characters. The palate is classically structured by chalky tannins, wonderfully complemented by succulent fruit flavours and spicy undertones. A sturdy, brooding red designed to partner rich meat dishes. At its best: now to 2021.”
