Description

Is done with a special selection of grapes in the vineyard of the historical Marroneto and that being located near the church of Our Lady of Grace dating back to 1200 it takes its name. During his ages in large oak barrels and try to save as much as possible its natural scents of the wood protecting it from attack. It is a wine of great depth, interesting, in which the pleasantness of Sangiovese joins a typical complexity of great wines. Classic meditation wine, fruity, variable in the fragrances of great impact in the mouth.

Producer
Il Marroneto
From this winery
  • Start up year: 1974
  • Oenologist: Alessandro Mori
  • Bottles produced: 36.139
  • Hectares: 5
The story of Il Marroneto began in 1974, in two small rooms of a historic building dating back to 1246. An old drying room for marroni (chestnuts), where the Mori family began, partly for fun and partly for passion, to produce its Brunello. Just a few bottles, whose purpose was to translate into aromas and flavours that culture of 'making wine', which was not yet the prerogative of bussines, but only the expression of a land, a tradition and a magnificently generous nature.

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.
