Il Brunello di Montalcino DOCG di Il Marroneto è un'eccellenza toscana che riflette perfettamente la sua terra d'origine. Questo vino rosso, prodotto con uve Sangiovese grosso in purezza, rappresenta una delle espressioni più autentiche del Brunello. Alla vista si presenta con un colore rubino intenso e brillante, con leggere sfumature granato che si accentuano con l'invecchiamento.

Al naso offre un bouquet complesso e affascinante, nel quale emergono note di frutti rossi maturi, come ciliegia e prugna, arricchite da sentori floreali di viola e da una piacevole speziatura che ricorda la cannella, il tabacco e il cuoio. Queste sensazioni olfattive sono il risultato di un'attenta vinificazione e di un affinamento in botti di rovere che dura almeno quattro anni, seguito da ulteriori mesi in bottiglia.

In bocca, il Brunello di Montalcino di Il Marroneto si rivela strutturato, con tannini morbidi ed eleganti. La freschezza dell'acidità bilancia perfettamente la ricchezza del corpo, creando un equilibrio armonioso che rende ogni sorso un'esperienza unica. Il finale è lungo e persistente, con un retrogusto che richiama le note fruttate e speziate percepite al naso.

Ideale da abbinare a piatti robusti come arrosti di carne, selvaggina e formaggi stagionati, questo Brunello rappresenta una scelta perfetta per occasioni speciali e momenti di meditazione. Un vino che celebra la tradizione e la qualità della viticoltura italiana.

Country: Italia
Founded: 1974
Grapes: Sangiovese Grosso
Production focused on Brunello di Montalcino DOCG Vineyards on Montalcino’s northern slope with sandy and stony soils. Traditional and minimalist approach in the vineyard and cellar Historic vineyard 'Madonna delle Grazie' Awards and high scores from international critics
Winery history
The estate traces its origins to Giuseppe Mori’s purchase of the property in 1974; the first vine plantings were carried out from 1975. The Mori family, with Andrea and Alessandro, began their initial vinifications in the late 1970s and produced their first official bottle at the end of the 1970s/early 1980s. Over time Alessandro consolidated the winery’s identity, expanding the production facilities in the 1990s and maintaining a production rooted in the tradition of Montalcino.
Production philosophy
Traditional, minimalist philosophy: a strong focus on vineyard health, low-intervention practices, spontaneous fermentations where possible, and ageing in large oak casks to preserve the expressiveness of Sangiovese.
Terroir and vineyards
Vineyards located on the north-facing slope of the Montalcino hill, in a terroir characterized by marine sediments, coarse sandy deposits mixed with minerals, and sandy, stony soils. Among the historic vineyards, the vineyard near the little chapel of the Madonna delle Grazie stands out.
Awards and recognitions
It regularly receives very high scores from international critics across multiple vintages; particularly high ratings have been reported for the "Madonna delle Grazie" selection and its Riserva.
