Maretti Langhe Nebbiolo 2021

94 POINTS & 5 STARS: Sam Kim, Wine Orbit
95 POINTS: Wine Direct Tasting Team

100% Nebbiolo 

"The wine has a complex and enticing flavour profile with notes of dark berries, dried herbs, earthy mushrooms, cured meat, and fine leather. It has excellent weight and fine texture, wonderfully framed by grainy tannins, leading to a superbly long, structured finish. At its best: now to 2031"
- Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, Mar 2024

With the alps on three sides in the country's mountainous North West, Piedmont creates some of Italy's finest red wines. The elegant and complex wine displays the lifted aromatics, bright red fruits and fine tannins so expressive of Langhe Nebbiolo. Red cherry, new leather, a little mint, spice and orange peel. Tannin is present, but supple, delivering a little rusty grip to the wine, finishing well. The 2021 weather performed, with high temperature differentials between day and night offering the fruit a variety of conditions for ripening and thriving. A healthy harvest producing quality wines.

Piedmont, in the foothills of the Alps in the North West of Italy, is home to the country's finest full-bodied red wines. The greates wines are made from the extremely long lived Nebbiolo. Sourced from vineyards in the small commune of Castiglione Falleto in Piedmont, we are pleased to bring your Maretti's inaugural Barolo from the lauded 2016 vintage.
