Red wineIl Marroneto Madonna della Grazie
Read moreThe 2018 Il Marroneto Madonna della Grazie is an iconic Brunello di Montalcino that perfectly embodies the elegance and depth of Sangiovese. Located on the northern slopes of Montalcino, Il Marroneto is known for its traditional approach and producing wines that stay true to the region's unique terroir.
The Madonna della Grazie is made from 100% Sangiovese Grosso, from carefully tended vineyards at an altitude of 400 metres. The specific plot around the chapel of Madonna della Grazie, with soils of galestro, clay and sand, contributes to the complexity and finesse of this exceptional wine.
In the glass, the 2018 Madonna della Grazie presents itself with a radiant ruby red colour. The bouquet is deep and layered, with aromas of cherries, dried roses, liquorice and a subtle hint of tobacco. As the wine opens up, nuances of spice, balsamic and a hint of mineral freshness emerge. On the palette, the wine offers a refined structure with lively acidity, velvety tannins and a long, harmonious finish with notes of red fruit and earthy accents.
The 2018 Madonna della Grazie was aged for four years, three of which were in large Slavonian oak barrels. This traditional ageing adds depth and balance without overpowering the expression of the Sangiovese.
This Brunello is an excellent accompaniment to dishes such as braised game dishes, risotto with truffles or aged pecorino cheese. With a storage potential of 20 to 30 years, the 2018 Il Marroneto Madonna della Grazie will continue to develop and offer a true wine experience for decades to come.
