Garnet in colour with ruby highlights, it offers an aromatic profile of Mediterranean scrub, mulberry and blood orange. On the palate, it stands out for its velvety tannins and a balsamic finish, the result of vinification in steel and maturation in oak barrels. This structure makes it ideal for accompanying game dishes and mature cheeses.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhere it comes from\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt originates in Tuscany, in the renowned Brunello di Montalcino area, a region that enjoys ideal soil and climate conditions for viticulture. The vines grow at around four hundred metres above sea level and are trained using the spur-pruned cordon method. The distinctive feature of the terroir lies in the soils composed of \u003cstrong\u003emarine sand\u003c\/strong\u003e and a significant mineral component.

The wine is racked off while retaining part of its sugars; the pomace is then subjected to vertical pressing to extract the residual must, which is reintroduced to complete the fermentation process entirely naturally. The long maturation in \u003cstrong\u003eoak barrels\u003c\/strong\u003e precedes the final \u003cstrong\u003eageing in bottle\u003c\/strong\u003e, a method that ensures remarkable evolution over time while preserving the integrity of the original aromas.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHistory and Curiosities\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSince 1974, the estate \u003cstrong\u003eIl Marroneto\u003c\/strong\u003e has been producing a prestigious Brunello di Montalcino DOCG from pure Sangiovese grapes.
