Crafted from a meticulous selection of Sangiovese grapes grown in mineral-rich, sandy soils in a historic vineyard beside the 13th-century Madonna delle Grazie church, this wine epitomises elegance and tradition.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis 2017 Brunello di Montalcino underwent fermentation for approximately 20 days in Allier oak vats and was matured for 41 months in oak barrels, followed by 10 months of bottle ageing, allowing its rich complexity to fully develop.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith 98 points from both Robert Parker's Wine Advocate and Wine Enthusiast, this is one of the highest-rated Brunellos of the 2017 vintage. It showcases a graceful ruby-red hue and aromas of pressed rose, forest berries, mint, and leather. The palate reveals layers of crushed raspberry, Morello cherry, liquorice, and dark spices, supported by refined tannins and fresh acidity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDespite the warmer vintage, the cool northern exposure and elevation of the vineyard have preserved the wine’s finesse and balance, giving it serious ageing potential, a hallmark of Madonna delle Grazie Brunello di Montalcino.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTasting Notes:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e• Aromas: Pressed rose, wild cherry, mint, new leather, dark spice\u003cbr\u003e• Palate: Crushed raspberry, blood orange, Morello cherry, baking spice, liquorice.\u003cbr\u003e• Structure: Silky tannins, fresh acidity, full-bodied elegance\u003cbr\u003e• Ageing Potential: 15–20 years\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDiscover the timeless elegance of Il Marroneto,\u003c\/strong\u003e a small-production winery in the northern hills of Montalcino, Tuscany, specializing in traditional Brunello di Montalcino wines. Founded in 1974 by Giuseppe Mori and led by his son, Alessandro Mori, the estate produces some of the most age-worthy and highly regarded organic Brunello wines in Italy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSet at 400 meters above sea level, Il Marroneto’s 5.8 hectares of vineyards benefit from cool mountain air, nutrient-rich sandy soils, and natural limestone and galestro, a terroir that nurtures vibrant, structured wines. The vines, planted gradually between 1975 and 1983, average over 35 years old, and are spaced for optimal vine health and minimal chemical intervention.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTrue to its heritage, Il Marroneto uses only native yeast fermentation, minimal cellar manipulation, and traditional large French oak casks (2600L) for ageing. The wine undergoes a nine-day fermentation in 50% stainless steel and 50% wood, followed by 39 months of barrel ageing, and is bottled unfined and unfiltered, resulting in deep, complex wines with extraordinary longevity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach bottle of Il Marroneto reflects the spirit of its historic estate, originally a 13th-century tower once used by convent nuns to store chestnuts for flour.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Divine Fine Wines","offers":[{"title":"6x75cl \/ In Bond Price","offer_id":51622834962775,"sku":null,"price":980.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0929\/5334\/6391\/files\/Il-Marroneto-Madonna-delle_Grazie-Brunello-di-Montalcino-2017.jpg?v=1757407528","url":"https:\/\/divinefinewines.co.uk\/products\/il-marroneto-madonna-delle-grazie-brunello-di-montalcino","provider":"Divine Fine Wines","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
