Il Marroneto Brunello di Montalcino Madonna Delle Grazie 2021

Discover the majesty of Il Marroneto Brunello di Montalcino Madonna delle Grazie, an indisputable masterpiece crafted by the legendary Alessandro Mori.

This cult red wine, rated 100 points by James Suckling, represents the pinnacle of elegance and purity of Sangiovese in Tuscany. Coming from a historic two-hectare plot located at an altitude of 430 meters, just below the 13th-century church that gives it its name, this Brunello is grown on mineral-rich sandy soils (sabbione di mare). The vintage stands out for its astonishing complexity, balance, and an unparalleled silky texture.

The vinification follows a traditional and minimalist approach: spontaneous fermentation in oak vats without temperature control, followed by aging for 41 months in large Allier oak botti. The result is a vibrant and profound meditation wine, which unfolds an aromatic range of red cherries, blood orange, Parma violets, licorice, and a balsamic touch. On the palate, its brilliant acidity and finely polished tannins guarantee an extraordinary aging potential.

Ideal for collectors and lovers of liquid luxury, Madonna delle Grazie is not just a wine, it is a transcendental sensory experience that captures the soul of Montalcino.
