Maretti Barbera Nebbiolo Langhe Rosso

Details

A deep crimson wine with an expressive nose of ripe red berries, nuanced with subtle dried herb, forest floor and anise notes. Medium-bodied with supple raspberry and plum flavours and fine tannins.

DOC: Langhe Rosso

Region: Piemonte, Italy

Style: Red

Vintage: 2021

Grapes: Barbera, Nebbiolo

Vinification: Vinified separately with each parcel naturally fermented in stainless steel. The Nebbiolo is immediately separated from skins whilst the Barbera receives a further week maceration. The fruit is matured independently in a mix of small French oak casks and large Slavonian oak for eight months before blending and a further four months ageing in large oak casks.

Alcohol: 14%

Farming: Conventional

 

Tasting Note: 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.

 

Pairing suggestion: 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.
