Marroneto, Brunello di Montalcino, Madonna Grazie 2015

Marroneto

Case Format: 6x75cl

On the background of the vineyards of Il Marroneto, the towers of the city of Siena are visible, and they frame a unique landscape and one of the most important places in the Montalcino region. Everything started with Giuseppe Mori in 1974, when he planted the first three thousand metres of vineyards, which doubled by 1979, and reached nine thousands by 1984. Nowadays, it is Alessandro Mori who continues the work started by his father more than forty years ago. Amongst the rows, the vines are minimally treated, avoiding intensive production, every plant has 3,6 square metres to root properly. The management of the vineyards is in the complete harmony with the environment, nature, ecosystem and biodiversity, following the rhythms and changing of the seasons. The main objective of the firm is to manufacture wines that are of the highest quality.

Monica Larner

The Il Marroneto 2015 Brunello di Montalcino Madonna delle Grazie creeps up on you slowly. Give this wine ample time to open and put on weight and volume. Or better yet, just stick the bottle in your cellar for a few more years. Fruit comes from a 1.6-hectare parcel at 420 meters above sea level. This site, located just below the Madonna delle Grazie chapel, has sandy mineral-rich soils. This wine is very different from the Alessandro Moris classic Brunello. Here, you get that beautiful purity in the bouquet, but you also get a different mouthfeel that is characterized by more structure and a firmer set of tannins. However, the overall integration is superior here considering that this wine is richer and has more material and overall density. Cherry, grenadine and cassis are followed by jasmine and even a touch of exotic fruit. As the wine opens, you catch a hint of mesquite or hickory smoke. Some 7,040 bottles were made. This wine was bottled in June 2019, and it hit the market in January 2020.

Alessandro Mori, who has been making Brunello for decades in a staunchly traditional way and setting on elegance and vibrancy rather than power, has shot to the absolute top of Montalcino. This single vineyard wine aptly demonstrates, year after year, why. A thrilling wine with a perfumed sour cherry nose and succulent fruit with bags of coating tannins, which with further bottle ageing, will improve for decades to come.
