Brunello di Montalcino DOCG 'Selezione Madonna delle Grazie' 2020 (750 ml.) Il Marroneto
Brunello di Montalcino 'Selezione Madonna delle Grazie' by Il Marroneto is made from a selection of grapes harvested in the historic vineyard, located near the small church of Madonna delle Grazie from which it takes its name. During the aging in large oak barrels for 47 months, the natural aromas are preserved as much as possible, protecting it from the aggression of the wood. It becomes Brunello after 5 years, also considering the 6 months of aging in the bottle. Very refined and of great depth, great elegance, with delicate, complex aromas and a dense and velvety tannic texture, which envelops towards a very fresh and persistent finish. The pleasantness of Sangiovese is combined with a complexity typical of great wines. A classic meditation wine, fruity, variable in aromas, of great impact in the mouth, capable of combining stylistic precision and longevity.

6 Items
On the high slopes of the Montalcino hill, facing a panorama that sweeps from the towers of Siena to the mountains of Casentino, at the foot of the church of the Madonna delle Grazie stands an ancient tower where the cellar of Alessandro Mori, owner and interpreter of those Sangiovese grapes that have always been grown here. The first bottle of Brunello signed Il Marroneto came out of this winery in 1978, when his father Giuseppe bought the land just outside the walls of Montalcino, inaugurating one of the first spontaneous cellars in the area.
Around the tower, a historic building from 1246, the vines extend for 6 hectares, planted between 1975 and 1983 on slopes so steep that terracing is necessary. Cultivation is carried out with little interventionist, traditional and minimalist criteria which include natural grassing and spring pruning, in addition to the refusal of intensive production to the benefit of quality. The harvest takes place only when the stalk begins to turn to burnt colors, a sign that the seeds have reached the right ripeness that allows to give the wine vegetable tannins. The vinification to which the grapes are subjected responds to a traditional and classic enology; aging takes place in large Allier and Slovenian barrels for at least 4 years, as required by the Brunello specification. The result is an elegant and important wine, for meditation, a magnificent expression of that love and patience necessary to produce it.
After almost 40 years of activity, Il Marroneto is considered among the ten historic companies of Montalcino, among the most renowned and important, thanks to the passion and work of Alessandro, but above all to that impeccable and exciting Brunello that bears his signature.
