Description

Produced by the winemakers behind the famed wines of Mirafiore and Fontanafredda, the Maretti label has signified exceptional value from Piedmont since it was first imported to Australia.

Unsurprisingly, given this producer's incredible track record for over-delivering for the price, this Barolo comes in at a very modest price when compared to the rest of the region.

It's classically styled, too. A sea of red fruit, licorice, orange peel and fine, dusty tannin that will continue to evolve in bottle for the next decade plus. 

An absolute bargain from a wonderful Barolo vintage.

Yum

This was a great wine for a great price. All the Barolo goodness, just not the Barolo price.

Value for money Barolo

Very good value compared with other Barolo's. Doesnt match the higher priced offerings for quality, but out paces the majority of Langhe neb at a similar price point. Dark chocolate on back palette and fine grippy tannins.

Value for Money

A good value for money purchase.
Lean, clean. An unexpected (slight) peppery finish on the palate.

Great Value Barolo

Wasn’t sure what to expect with this Barolo at the low price point for this type of wine but really surprised with the quality. Will definitely order again.

Nice introduction to Barolo

It was approachable, and getting better with air and time. Drank over 2 days. Great vintage. Good value.

Winemaking:
The fermentation is traditional (15 days) in stainless steel vats with a floating cap at a controlled temperature (30-31° C). The must then stays in contact with the skins for a further 15 days to optimize the extraction of the polyphenolic substances and help start malolactic fermentation. One year in barriques from Allier and two year in oak casks still from Allier (2000 lt). After a soft clarification, the wine is bottled for a further period of maturation in the bottle, the length depends from the characteristics of the vintages, but never less than 12 months.

Tasting Note:
The colour is dark garnet with ruby highlights. It has a clear-cut, intense nose with overtones of roses, spices, earthy undertones with nuanced vanilla notes. The taste is dry, but soft, full-bodied, velvety and well balanced, and is very long-lasting. Classic Barolo like this works well with rich braised meat dishes or a mushroom risotto.

No, feel free to mix it up! There is no minimum requirement. You can order wines in any quantity or combination, 1 or 50+ bottles.

No, all prices are set at the full discounted dozen rate already.

Most wine retailers list at a single-bottle price and then discount 10–15% when you buy six or twelve. We've taken the opposite approach. Since the overwhelming majority of our orders are already 6 bottles or more, our list price is set for the case buyer from the start. There's no inflated single-bottle price to discount down from.

What that means for you:

- One price, same for everyone — no minimum to hit to unlock the best rate
- No mixed-six gymnastics to qualify for a discount
- Our single-bottle price is typically at or below a traditional retailer's by-the-dozen rate

Put simply: the box discount is already baked into the price.

**And if you find it cheaper elsewhere?** Let us know. If the same wine is available at a lower price at another retailer (including at their mixed-six or by-the-dozen rate) we're happy to match it.

If you can't add more wine to your cart it means we are low on stock of that wine. For example, if you are only able to 3 bottles and no more that means we only have 3 bottles left of that wine. If it's a must have, please contact us and we may be able to order more in for you.
