In the glass, it displays a ruby red colour with refined garnet hues. The \u003cstrong\u003eolfactory profile\u003c\/strong\u003e reveals itself gradually, releasing hints of watermelon, old rose and aromatic herbs, enriched by nuances of tamarind, cumin, citron and lavender. On the palate, the entry is full and fleshy, evolving towards an austere, savoury and vibrant character. The dense tannic texture supports the sip through to a persistent finish, with earthy and floral notes, enhanced by maturation in large oak barrels. It is the ideal companion for dishes based on red meats, game and \u003cstrong\u003emature cheeses\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhere it comes from\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis red originates in the territory of Montalcino, from a historic vineyard located near a small 13th-century church. The rows grow at around four hundred metres above sea level on a \u003cstrong\u003emarine sandy soil\u003c\/strong\u003e rich in minerals. This particular geological formation gives the wine a \u003cstrong\u003emarked savouriness\u003c\/strong\u003e and a rigorous tannic identity. Il Marroneto carefully oversees every stage of production to honour the connection with the territory of \u003cstrong\u003eBrunello di Montalcino\u003c\/strong\u003e, offering one of the most authentic expressions of the Tuscan landscape.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow it is produced\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eProduction begins with a brief resting of the must, followed by fermentation in \u003cstrong\u003eoak vats\u003c\/strong\u003e with gradual temperature control. This phase lasts for about three weeks, accompanied by a slow maceration necessary to extract colour and structure. Subsequently, the wine undergoes a long \u003cstrong\u003ematuration in large oak barrels\u003c\/strong\u003e, aimed at preserving the integrity and freshness of the fruit. The process ends with an essential period of \u003cstrong\u003erefinement in the bottle\u003c\/strong\u003e, which stabilises the gustatory structure and prepares the wine for an extraordinary ageing capacity.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHistory and Curiosities\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSince 1974, the Mori family has continued the artisanal tradition of Il Marroneto. The name of this wine originates from the \u003cstrong\u003ehistoric Madonna delle Grazie vineyard\u003c\/strong\u003e, located next to a small 13th-century church. In this precious five-hectare terroir, situated at an altitude of 400 metres and characterised by marine sands and minerals, the oenologist Alessandro Mori cultivates vines trained using the spur-pruned cordon method. The 2021 vintage achieves perfection with \u003cstrong\u003e100\/100 from James Suckling\u003c\/strong\u003e, confirming its prestige thanks to the \u003cstrong\u003e98 points\u003c\/strong\u003e awarded by Decanter, Robert Parker and Vinous.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Il Marroneto","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46265167839403,"sku":"60625","price":452.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0652\/6789\/2395\/files\/il-marroneto-brunello-montalcino-madonna-delle-grazie-2021_60625_1_2baa0849-07bf-43dd-ab1a-a56cf9d58c72.webp?v=1774455303","url":"https:\/\/www.xtrawine.com\/en-nl\/products\/il-marroneto-brunello-montalcino-madonna-delle-grazie-2021","provider":"Xtrawine","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
