The 2018 Brunello from Il Marroneto is a beautifully lifted and finely etched expression of the estate’s signature style, offering grace and transparency in a vintage that favored finesse over power. The bouquet opens with vivid notes of red cherry, wild strawberry, rose petal, orange peel, and subtle herbal tones, all framed by hints of spice and crushed stone. On the palate, the wine is taut, energetic, and delicately layered, with vibrant acidity and finely knit tannins that give the wine its distinctive vertical drive. Flavors of brisk red fruit, savory herbs, saline minerality, and a gentle balsamic nuance extend through a long, linear, and refined finish. This is a quintessential Il Marroneto Brunello—elegant, ethereal, and poised for graceful evolution.
Il Marroneto is one of Montalcino’s most revered artisanal estates, renowned for its steadfast commitment to purity, tradition, and the most elevated expression of Sangiovese. Founded in 1974 by Alessandro Mori, the winery sits on the cool northern slopes of Montalcino, an area marked by sandier soils, higher altitudes, and constant breezes that give the wines exceptional aromatics and tension. Il Marroneto follows a minimalist philosophy in both vineyard and cellar, emphasizing meticulous handwork, long fermentations, and aging in large neutral oak to preserve the crystalline character of the fruit. The estate’s Brunelli are celebrated for their elegance, vertical structure, and almost Burgundian clarity, consistently ranking among the most soulful and age-worthy wines in the region.
