| | | “If there’s a region of Italy where fame and greatness often exist on different planes, it’s Montalcino. There’s no greater evidence of this than the wild disconnect between the extent to which the Il Marroneto name is worshipped by insiders and the fact that the estate is not at all well-known by the public. Il Marroneto is, after all, the property that Antonio Galloni once called “the single most important yet under-the-radar estate in all of Montalcino.”
While Madonna del Grazie is the estate’s top wine, its flagship Brunello di Montalcino can stand toe to toe with it. The vines are almost as old and, of course, are all located in Montalcino’s prime northern sector. The two wines share a similar approach in the cellar too. In fact, the regimen of the two wines is virtually identical, with the main difference being that Brunello classico simply spends less time in wood. If the Old-School Brunellos of the 1980s and 1990s are your thing, either of the two Marroneto Brunellos will pull at your heartstrings.” |
| | | "A restrained wine that’s complex and deep, with aromas of cherry stones, butter, fresh violets, orange peel and prunes. Firm tannins with a grainy texture, yet it has a sweet finish, super-energetic acidity and a full body. Flavors of blood oranges and violets. Perfect balance and incredible aging potential. A super classic." 97 James Suckling, Nov 2024
"Definitely among the vintage’s anomalies, Il Marroneto’s 2020 is more overtly structured than its 2019 counterpart. While the latter verges on dainty and ethereal, the 2020 is steelier in resolve and almost austere by comparison. Proprietor Alessandro Mori also felt it needed longer in wood, so this saw a total of 45 months in Slavonian oak casks. Subtle and sweet to start, it flits with strawberry and cherry blossom before taking on earthier tones. Elegantly weighted but still tight, the palate is built around pure red cherry and raspberry, embedded with nutmeg and incense. Chalky and layered, the tannins sport an assertive bite." 96 Michaela Morris, Decanter, Nov 2024 |
