Maretti Italia Sangiovese 2024 (Italy)

Description

Cherry, Floral, Olive

"It's elegantly fragrant on the nose, showing sweet cherry, strawberry, olive, game, and floral notes, followed by a finely expressed palate that's juicy and supple. Well supported by bright acidity and delicate tannins, finishing succulent and pleasingly dry. At its best: now to 2029" Sam Kim, Wine Orbit

Juicy and approachable, this Sangiovese shows ripe red plum, cherry, and subtle hints of dried herbs. The palate is round and generous, with soft tannins and a smooth, fruit-driven 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 IGP Puglia benefited from abundant sunshine and warm, stable conditions, allowing for optimal ripening and excellent fruit concentration. Cool nights helped preserve natural acidity, resulting in balanced, vibrant wines with rich flavour and freshness. Overall, the vintage delivered exceptional quality across the region—ideal for producing approachable, fruit-forward styles with real drinkability.

Grown in the sun-drenched vineyards of southern Puglia, the Sangiovese grapes are harvested at peak ripeness to ensure rich fruit expression. Fermentation occurs in stainless steel with moderate temperature control to balance extraction and freshness. Post-fermentation, the wine is aged briefly in tank to preserve its juicy, approachable style with soft tannins and ripe red fruit character.

Food Pairing: A crowd-pleasing red that pairs effortlessly with everyday meals.
