Rosso di Montalcino DOC 'Jacopo' 2019 (750 ml.) Il Marroneto
Rosso di Montalcino 'Jacopo' by Il Marroneto estate was created in 2019 when Alessandro Mori produced a special version of his Rosso di Montalcino, dedicated to his son Jacopo. A pure Sangiovese that combines the typical complexity of local wines, with a nice freshness of drink, giving life to a younger and more fruity version of Brunello. The wine ages in 25-hectolitre oak barrels for 8 months and ends the refinement with a further 6 months in the bottle. The refinement gives the wine an elegant, floral and fruity bouquet of cherry and red berried fruits. Pleasant hints of spice, tobacco and noble woods with a balsamic finish. Good structure, juicy fruit and beautiful evolutionary notes. Well integrated and balanced tannins for a fresh and persistent finish.

THE WINE

THE COMPANY
On the high slopes of the Montalcino hill, facing a panorama that sweeps from the towers of Siena to the mountains of Casentino, at the foot of the church of the Madonna delle Grazie stands an ancient tower where the cellar of Alessandro Mori, owner and interpreter of those Sangiovese grapes that have always been grown here. The first bottle of Brunello signed Il Marroneto came out of this winery in 1978, when his father Giuseppe bought the land just outside the walls of Montalcino, inaugurating one of the first spontaneous cellars in the area.
Around the tower, a historic building from 1246, the vines extend for 6 hectares, planted between 1975 and 1983 on slopes so steep that terracing is necessary. Cultivation is carried out with little interventionist, traditional and minimalist criteria which include natural grassing and spring pruning, in addition to the refusal of intensive production to the benefit of quality. The harvest takes place only when the stalk begins to turn to burnt colors, a sign that the seeds have reached the right ripeness that allows to give the wine vegetable tannins. The vinification to which the grapes are subjected responds to a traditional and classic enology; aging takes place in large Allier and Slovenian barrels for at least 4 years, as required by the Brunello specification. The result is an elegant and important wine, for meditation, a magnificent expression of that love and patience necessary to produce it.
After almost 40 years of activity, Il Marroneto is considered among the ten historic companies of Montalcino, among the most renowned and important, thanks to the passion and work of Alessandro, but above all to that impeccable and exciting Brunello that bears his signature.
