Description

For lovers of affordable Italian table wines, the Maretti wines, crafted by the winemaker Danilo Drocco, have been delivering above and beyond for many years.

The Langhe Nebbiolo adds another delicious string to their bow. The fruit is macerated for only a short time before being pressed off to barrel. The intent here is to deliver a Piemontese Nebbiolo that is ready to drink now. Drocco has been very successful.

The tannins are super fine and moreish, the fruit is bright, energetic and has the signature rusty colour that you might associate with very traditional examples of Nebbiolo from this region.

This is one of the best value Italian Nebbiolos you will find.

"Fresh and vibrant, a Nebbiolo delivered in a lighter framework here, though it still speaks well of the grape variety. Red cherry, new leather, a little mint, spice and orange peel. Tannin is present, but supple, delivering a little rusty grip to the wine, and it finishes well too. It’s not deep or concentrated, but does deliver a lively glass of Piedmont at an affordable price."
- Gary Walsh (The Wine Front)

94 points - "It’s splendidly expressed on the nose, showing dark cherry, tapenade, thyme, dried mushroom, and nutmeg aromas. The palate delivers an expansive mouthfeel and fleshy texture, beautifully supported by chalky tannins, finishing persistent and sturdy. At its best: now to 2033" - Sam Kim (Wine Orbit)
