Descripción

En la ladera norte de Montalcino, donde antaño los secaderos de castañas marcaban el ritmo pausado de la vida rural, nace Il Marroneto Brunello di Montalcino, un vino que rinde homenaje a esa tradición silenciosa y paciente. Elaborado con Sangiovese y con un envejecimiento de al menos 36 meses, este brunello se expresa con pureza, profundidad y una elegancia serena. Fiel a una filosofía respetuosa con el terruño y las levaduras indígenas, Il Marroneto ofrece una interpretación clásica y refinada de la región, un vino que conecta paisaje, memoria y carácter.

Opinión de los críticos

James Suckling:

A dark and complex wine with aromas of black cherries, cherry pits, dried flowers, licorice and hints of leather and intoxicating violets. There is elegance as well as depth. Medium- to full-bodied with great density and concentration, sleek tannins of outstanding ripeness, graceful acidity and a super-polished finish. Licorice aftertaste. Drink or hold.

The Wine Advocate:

Il Marroneto’s 2021 Brunello di Montalcino is immediately captivating, showing lift and verticality that sets it clearly apart, with bright cherry fruit, grenadine and grilled watermelon underscored by an energetic, punchy edge. There is an appealing sweetness to the aromatics alongside hints of white peppercorn and pressed violet, with lifted tones that flirt with volatility yet remain controlled, carried by remarkably soft and polymerized tannins. The 2021 is distinctly austere and complex, etched with mineral precision and built with multiple layers stacked one atop another, gaining depth rather than breadth. Before fermentation is complete, the cap is soft and malic acid is not yet developed, and the wine is racked with residual sugar (from six to 10 grams per liter). The skins are pressed at 350 atmospheres in a vertical press, and the free-run juice is combined with the must to complete fermentation very slowly, over many months, bubbling happily along. It ages in oak botti for 42 months. This is a release of 22,000 bottles.
