Description

Produced by the winemaker behind the famed wines of Mirafiore and Fontanafredda, this is a delicious little Langhe blend that gives you the personality of Piemonte at just a snip of a price.

This is a blend of Nebbiolo and Barbera - the region's two hero red varieties - with a mix of traditional and modern winemaking techniques used during production.

It's an unpretentious and totally smashable entry point into the wines of the region, both earthy and brightly fruited.

If you need some quaffing table reds and you love the Piemontese vibe, buying just doesn't get much better than this.

"A gorgeous modern rendition, the wine shows dark plum, wild strawberry, game, warm spice, and floral aromas on the nose. This is followed by a succulent palate displaying excellent weight and fruit richness. Wonderfully framed by supple texture and loads of polished tannins, the wine finishes structured and robust. At its best: now to 2033."

87 points - "Cherry, orange peel, some new leather, liquorice and spice. A mix of red berries and cherries, quite spicy, a powdery and grainy feel to tannin, feels a bit tangy in acidity, and has a dusty (oak?) finish of modest length." - Gary Walsh (The Wine Front)

Maretti Langhe Rosso: exceptional value for money

Maretti Rosso is a mass produced wine which has no pretensions to high-quality or subtlety. But when it is priced below $25 a bottle it represents exceptional value, because it is always consistent and is full of character: it has the satisfyingly earthy, “dusty“ character of the best Italian wines in the style, as well as being “rounded“, that is with the alcohol fully integrated.

Amazing value on a classic Langhe Rosso

Dusty tannins, savoury and complex, with medium dark fruited notes accompanied by tobacco and leather. A classic example of a Langhe blend. Will be buying more.

Easy drinking

Aromas and flavours of cherry, berries, spice, licorice and florals. Dry, medium body, slightly drying tannins, good acidity.
I never decanted the wine but It was approachable. No bad for the price.

Super versatile Italian

This is quality, versatile wine, that goes with all sorts of food, and is great value. Absolutely no excuse not to have some soon!

Fragrant, lifted fruits of the forest overlaid by notes of dried herbs, some leather and aniseed. This is a medium weight wine, very well balanced with plush fruit character, sandy tannins and a lovely fresh clip of acidity delivering excellent Italian drinkability. This is a very approachable wine that will match brilliantly with food as well being great on its own. The perfect pasta or pizza wine.

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.
