Maretti Chianti 2023
94 POINTS: Wine Direct Tasting Team
92 POINTS: Sam Kim, Wine Orbit (Previous Vintage)
"Charming and elegantly lifted, the wine shows sweet cherry, toasted spice, walnut and subtle game characters on the nose, leading to a finely textured palate that delivers bright fruit flavours combined with savoury nuances, finishing long and delicately dry. A lovely expression. At its best: now to 2024."
– Sam Kim, Wine Orbit (Previous Vintage)
"Chianti at its fragrant best. An amalgam of red berries and black olive complemented by dried herbs adding savoury edge. Fresh and bright palate weight with fine grain tannins that ensures it ends dry. Great drinkability here and a stablemate for a home-made Lasagne or Pappardelle with mushrooms."
- Winemakers Notes
Chianti is a timeless Italian classic and is Italy’s most famous wine region, making mainly reds from the Sangiovese grape. These days ‘Chianti’ is unlikely to mean a rustic basket wine (fiaschi) and refers to a delicious and classic Italian red - medium-body, bright spicy fruit and Sangiovese’s lovely acidity. Enjoy the cherry fruit and silky texture of these great-value Chianti's with anything off the grill or flavoursome pasta.
