"Charming and inviting, the bouquet presents ripe strawberry, fig, apricot, and lemon peel aromas, followed by a refreshing palate that offers youthful fruit flavours with a fine texture and well-pitched acidity, making it mouth-watering and delightfully drinkable. At its best: now to 2027" Sam Kim, Wine Orbit

This Rosé is bright and aromatic, with lifted notes of wild strawberry, watermelon, and rose petal. The palate is dry and crisp, with a refreshing acidity and a clean, delicate finish. 

Maretti Italia is a vibrant range of wines from Pavia IGP, crafted to capture the spirit and generosity of Italian winemaking. Offering bold flavours and easy-drinking appeal, the range delivers exceptional value without compromising on quality. Maretti is all about approachable, everyday wines with a distinctly Italian soul.

The 2024 vintage in Pavia IGP delivered excellent quality fruit, thanks to a warm, dry growing season that promoted healthy vine development and concentrated flavour. Timely rainfall in late summer helped balance ripening, resulting in wines with vibrant fruit, balanced acidity, and soft tannins. Overall, conditions were ideal for producing expressive, approachable wines that reflect the generous character of the region.

Crafted from early-harvested red grapes, the juice for this rosé undergoes a brief cold maceration to extract delicate colour and aromatics before gentle pressing. Fermentation takes place at low temperatures in stainless steel to preserve freshness and floral notes. The wine is matured briefly on fine lees to enhance mouthfeel and elegance.

Food Pairing: Perfectly suited to casual sipping or light summer fare.
