Description
A classic Brunello, elegant and at the same time structured, it is the result of vinification aimed at fixing as much as possible of the Sangiovese aromas and thus also the typicality of the position. After months in wood it remains fresh, perfumed, fruity and does not suffer the aggression of wood. Fantastic for relaxing moments.

So 'playing with wine' becomes more than a game: it is a deep passion, a thread that guides Alessandro's choices. He decided, in the 1990s, to expand the wine cellar of Il Marroneto, realising an idea that eschews logic dictated by aesthetics tout-court but is firmly bound to those principles, in reality very simple and immediate, that the 'good practice' of making wine imposes.
