Current Vintage: 2020
Grapes: 100% Sangiovese
Il Marroneto is one of Montalcino's most admired estates, celebrated for producing Brunello of extraordinary elegance and purity. Founded by Giuseppe Mori and now run by his son Alessandro, the small estate sits on the northern slopes of Montalcino. Alessandro's traditional, minimal-intervention approach has earned Il Marroneto a devoted following among lovers of classic Sangiovese.
The 2021 Brunello comes from high-elevation vineyards with sandy, mineral-rich soils that favour finesse and aromatic complexity. Fermentation with native yeasts and extended ageing in large Slavonian oak casks allow the character of Sangiovese to emerge without the influence of new oak. The excellent 2021 vintage delivers a compelling combination of concentration, freshness and structure.
Wild cherry, red plum and dried rose petals meet orange peel, tobacco and delicate earthy spice. The palate is graceful yet deeply concentrated, with vibrant acidity, finely woven tannins and a long, savoury finish. Superb with roast lamb, wild boar ragù or aged Pecorino. A beautifully poised Brunello with the structure to develop over many years in the cellar.
