Silky, open and graceful, it is characterised by outstanding elegance and the finesse typical of the northern sector of Montalcino. Rose petals, sweet red berries and graceful, minty notes adorn the palate in a sensual, silky Brunello that exudes its class and pedigree from the very first sip. The traditional Marroneto style with fine-grained tannins and subtle salty notes contrasts excitingly with the classic structure and extract sweetness. A great wine! SUPERIORE.DE

"Bright, elegant ruby red colour. Discreet candle wax on the nose, with fine fleshy notes, mint, sea salt, red berry fruit, slight hints of plums and truffles. Initially with young tannins and good juiciness on the palate, becoming somewhat rougher and savoury on the finish." Falstaff

"Subtle and sweet to start, it plays around strawberries and cherry blossom before taking on earthier tones. Elegantly weighted but still dense, the palate is built around pure red cherry and raspberry, embedded with nutmeg and incense. The tannins are chalky and layered with an assertive bite. Give it a few years." Decanter

"The 2020 Brunello di Montalcino is an understated beauty that slowly unfolds with a delicate blend of rose petals, fresh mint, crushed rocks and vividly ripe black cherries. The palate floats across the floor with ripe red berry fruit and a hint of lavender, taking on a fluid, floral concentration towards the finish. The 2020 is pleasantly chewy and long, leaving the senses with primary concentration, with hints of bitter cranberry and pretty inner flowers lingering over a bed of classic dry tannins. This is a more concentrated and intense, yet beautifully balanced rendition of Il Marroneto's Brunello." Vinous

"The Il Marroneto 2020 Brunello di Montalcino is a wine of particular depth and elegance. Alessandro Mori tells me that the fermentation in 2020 went very well, with what he calls a "primordial stew" of grape must that results in high-pressure "geysers" or "liquid bombs" that rip right through the cap due to the build-up of pressure. Someone in the winery is having a lot of fun. The high temperatures (between 36 and 38 degrees Celsius) are responsible for the ruby red colour of the wine and the elegance of its aromas, which are more floral than fruity. At the end of fermentation, the grape skins are lightly moistened by hand with a hose. This vintage offers softness and a silky texture that feels brilliant on the palate." Wine Advocate
