Maretti Chianti 2019

 

Hi Folks, The new 2019 vintage of Maretti Chianti has recently reached our shores and has hit the ground running. This is a wine that embodies the pure charm of Italy. This is sourced from a small grower in Chianti Rufina, one of the highest and coolest parts of the region resulting in wines that are quite granite rich with a mineral edge and fine acidity.  It's soft and supple with trademark savoury edges and nicely poised acidity, making it a perfect wine to pair with pizza or pasta dishes. It seems that we're not the only one's that are fans of this great value Chianti..... with the guys from The Wine Front and The Wine Pilot waxing lyrical about the quality on show in the 2019 release!
 
"Refreshing and good with food and this ticks those boxes very nicely. Red berries, black olive and dried herb, and almond paste. It’s crisp and fresh with good flavour.'' 91 Points, Gary Walsh, The Wine Front
 
"Here we have a bright and fresh version that explodes with local character. There are bright red cherry and cranberry fruits plus old tobacco and terracotta adding plenty of depth and complexity." 91 Points, Angus Hughson, Wine Pilot
 
"A lovely expression." 92 Points, Sam Kim at Wine Orbit

Over the last few years Maretti has changed the game when it comes to releasing affordable Italian reds and the 2019 edition is no exception.
