THE WINE
The Brunello di Montalcino from Il Marroneto originates in the area to the north of the village of Montalcino, in the locality of Madonna delle Grazie. It is one of the reference labels of the Montalcino area. Born from a particularly suited terroir and crafted with passion and artisanal care, the wine matures in large oak barrels for 39 months and ages in the bottle, ready 5 years after the harvest. Refined and intense, elegant, with delicate, complex aromas and a dense, velvety tannic structure that leads to a very fresh and persistent finish. It combines stylistic precision and longevity. It is a prestigious bottle, an absolutely unmissable Brunello, which reaches its full expressive maturity after a few years of aging in the cellar.
THE COMPANY
On the high slopes of the hill of Montalcino, facing a panorama that stretches from the towers of Siena to the Casentino mountains, at the foot of the church of Madonna delle Grazie stands an ancient tower that houses the winery of Alessandro Mori, owner and interpreter of the Sangiovese grapes that have always been cultivated here. The first bottle of Brunello signed Il Marroneto was released from this winery in 1978, when his father Giuseppe purchased the land just outside the walls of Montalcino, inaugurating one of the first spontaneous wineries in the area.
Surrounding the tower, a historic building from 1246, are the vineyards covering 6 hectares, planted between 1975 and 1983 on such steep slopes that terracing was necessary. The cultivation is conducted with minimally invasive, traditional, and minimalist criteria that include natural cover cropping and spring pruning, along with a rejection of intensive production in favor of quality. The harvest occurs only when the stems begin to turn burnt colors, a sign that the seeds have reached the right maturation that allows the wine to have vegetal tannins. The vinification to which the grapes are subjected follows traditional and classic enology; aging takes place in large Allier and Slovenian barrels for at least 4 years, as required by the Brunello regulations. The result is an elegant and important wine, meant for contemplation, a magnificent expression of the love and patience necessary to produce it.
After nearly 40 years of activity, Il Marroneto is considered one of the ten historic wineries of Montalcino, among the most renowned and important, thanks to the passion and work of Alessandro, but above all for that impeccable and exciting Brunello that bears his signature.
