The 2015 Madonna delle Grazie is a stunningly profound and beautifully sculpted Brunello, capturing the warmth and generosity of the vintage with Il Marroneto’s hallmark purity and tension. Aromas of red cherry, rose petal, blood orange, wild herbs, and subtle spice rise with exceptional clarity, supported by notes of crushed stone and gentle earth. On the palate, the wine is radiant and finely chiseled, balancing ripe, vibrant fruit with luminous acidity and impeccably polished tannins that create a sense of vertical drive and precision. Layers of savory herbs, mineral depth, and a delicate balsamic thread unfold through a long, resonant, and endlessly elegant finish. Still youthful yet already breathtaking, the 2015 Madonna delle Grazie stands as one of the great modern expressions of Brunello—pure, refined, and destined for decades of glorious evolution.
Il Marroneto stands among Montalcino’s most iconic artisanal estates, revered for its uncompromising commitment to purity, tradition, and the highest expression of Sangiovese. Founded in 1974 by Alessandro Mori, the winery is located on the cool, high-altitude northern slopes, where sandy soils, constant breezes, and a restrained microclimate yield fruit of remarkable aromatic lift and structural finesse. The estate’s minimalist approach—long fermentations, gentle extraction, and aging exclusively in large neutral oak—ensures transparency and precision in every wine. At the pinnacle of this philosophy is Madonna delle Grazie, a single-vineyard bottling crafted only from the estate’s finest fruit, celebrated for its depth, grace, and almost spiritual sense of place. Il Marroneto’s wines are admired worldwide for their verticality, elegance, and extraordinary aging potential.
