Maretti is a collection of expressive wines sourced from Italy’s most celebrated regions and crafted in partnership with passionate family growers who know their land intimately.
Rather than selling their fruit to large cooperatives, these families have embraced the opportunity to craft wines from their land under their own labels. Maretti celebrates this evolution, where tradition and innovation meet, and the spirit, generosity and individuality of each grower is offered in every glass.
Janko Pelagic leads Maretti’s overall wine production strategy, bringing decades of international experience and a deeply pragmatic approach to quality winemaking. Based in Marseille, Janko travels regularly to collaborate with Maretti’s family winemakers across Piedmont, Friuli Venezia Giulia, Veneto and Pavia. His role is both strategic and hands-on: aligning regional character, vineyard practice and commercial discipline to ensure each Maretti wine faithfully expresses its origin while meeting the highest standards of consistency and value.
A graduate of the prestigious HEC Paris, Janko holds an Executive MBA and combines rigorous commercial insight with a lifelong commitment to the wine industry. Alongside his work with Maretti, he is President and CEO of CIVS, further underscoring his leadership within the European wine sector. Janko’s vision, experience and collaborative style underpin Maretti’s mission to showcase the very best of Italy’s regional winemaking.
Giovanni Busi is the driving force behind Maretti’s Tuscan wines, whose family have been crafting elegant, expressive Chianti Rufina from their historic estate since the 1800s.
After graduating from the prestigious Enological School of Conegliano in 1979, Giovanni transformed the family estate to now bottling fine Chianti Rufina that are “approachable in youth yet built to age gracefully”.
Today, Giovanni works alongside his son Clemente, continuing a legacy of passion, precision, and respect for the land.
Through Giovanni’s hands, Maretti’s Tuscan wines capture the true spirit of Rufina, poised, generous, and full of life, much like the man himself.
