The 2012 Madonna delle Grazie is a beautifully refined and harmoniously evolved expression, capturing the elegance and classical balance of a vintage marked by purity rather than power. The nose opens with lifted notes of red cherry, raspberry, dried rose, blood orange, and subtle herbal and spice tones, all framed by a gentle mineral edge. On the palate, the wine is poised and finely textured, offering bright acidity and perfectly integrated tannins that give the wine its signature vertical drive. Layers of red berry fruit, savory herbs, crushed stone, and a delicate balsamic echo unfold through a long, graceful finish that lingers with quiet intensity. Already showing superb harmony yet still youthful at its core, the 2012 Madonna delle Grazie stands as a beautifully expressive and deeply authentic Brunello from one of the region’s most soulful producers.

Il Marroneto is one of Montalcino’s most admired traditional estates, known for producing Brunello of remarkable purity, lift, and vertical structure. Founded in 1974 by Alessandro Mori, the winery sits high on the northern slopes of Montalcino, where sandy soils, altitude, and constant breezes favor slow, even ripening and exceptional aromatic clarity. The estate’s approach is minimalist and deeply artisanal: long fermentations, gentle extraction, and aging exclusively in large neutral oak preserve the natural transparency of Sangiovese. At the apex of this philosophy stands Madonna delle Grazie, a single-vineyard parcel surrounding a centuries-old church, revered for yielding fruit of uncommon finesse and spiritual depth. Il Marroneto’s wines are celebrated for their elegance, tension, and profound aging potential, embodying a timeless expression of Brunello.
