Current Vintage: 2020
Grapes: 100% Sangiovese
Il Marroneto is one of Montalcino's most revered estates, known for Brunello that favours elegance and finesse over sheer power. Founded by Giuseppe Mori and now run by his son Alessandro, the estate occupies a prized position on Montalcino's northern slopes. Its traditional approach and remarkably expressive wines have made it a favourite among collectors of classic Tuscan Sangiovese.
The 2020 Brunello comes from high-elevation vineyards, where cooler conditions help preserve freshness and aromatic complexity. Fermentation with native yeasts and ageing in large Slavonian oak casks allow the fruit and vineyard character to take centre stage. The warm, generous 2020 vintage produced a particularly expressive Brunello, combining ripe fruit with the estate's signature refinement.
Red cherry, wild strawberry and dried rose petals mingle with orange zest, tobacco and subtle spice. The palate is silky and beautifully balanced, with fine tannins, vibrant acidity and a long, savoury finish. Delicious with roast lamb, wild mushroom pasta or aged Pecorino. An elegant, approachable expression of Il Marroneto that also promises plenty of reward with further cellaring.
