Rosso di Montalcino DOC 'Jacopo' 2021 (750 ml.) Il Marroneto
The Rosso di Montalcino 'Jacopo' from the estate Il Marroneto was born 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 the local wines with a nice freshness, giving rise to a younger and fruitier version of Brunello. The wine matures in 25-hectoliter oak barrels for 8 months and finishes aging with an additional 6 months in the bottle. The aging imparts an elegant bouquet to the wine, floral and fruity with notes of cherry and red berries. Pleasant spicy hints of tobacco and noble woods with a balsamic finish. Good structure, juicy fruit, and beautiful evolving notes. Well-integrated and balanced tannins for a fresh and persistent finish.

THE WINE
The Rosso di Montalcino 'Jacopo' from the estate Il Marroneto was born 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 the wines from the region with a nice freshness, giving life to a younger and fruitier version of Brunello. The wine matures in 25 hectoliter oak barrels for 8 months and completes its aging with an additional 6 months in the bottle. The aging gives the wine an elegant bouquet, floral and fruity with notes of cherry and red berry fruits. Pleasant spicy notes, tobacco, and noble woods with a balsamic finish. Good structure, juicy fruit, and beautiful evolving notes. Well-integrated and balanced tannins for a fresh and persistent finish.
THE COMPANY
On the high slopes of the hill of Montalcino, facing a panorama that ranges 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 came out of 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 vines that extend over 6 hectares, planted between 1975 and 1983 on such steep slopes that terracing is necessary. The cultivation is conducted with non-intrusive, traditional, and minimalist criteria that include natural cover cropping and spring pruning, as well as a refusal of intensive production in favor of quality. Harvesting occurs only when the stems begin to turn burnt colors, a sign that the seeds have reached the right maturity to impart vegetal tannins to the wine. The vinification process the grapes undergo follows traditional and classic enology; aging occurs in large Allier and Slovenian barrels for at least 4 years, as required by 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 almost 40 years of activity, Il Marroneto is considered one of the ten historic companies in 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.
