Il Marroneto 2007 Madonna delle Grazie Sangiovese Grosso (Brunello di Montalcino)

Bold fruit layers of red cherry, plum, blackberry, spice, cola and chocolate mark this wine. The quality of the fruit is still raw and bright and could use several years of cellar aging.

This Brunello Selezione epitomizes the clean, polished and easygoing style of the 2008 vintage.

The acidity is high, but is also balanced out by its natural density and rich texture.

Il Marroneto 2006 Sangiovese Grosso (Brunello di Montalcino)
- $42
This classic Brunello is slightly more closed aromatically and subdued at first, but opens to deep layers of berry fruit and exotic spice as the wine stays in the glass. Elegant flavors of almond and cassis appear as pretty accents on the long fade.

Il Marroneto 2008 Sangiovese Grosso (Brunello di Montalcino)
- Online Exclusive
- $75
Brunello Il Marroneto offers a touch of ripeness in the form of cherry fruit, vanilla cream, cinnamon and caramel. Sharp acidity in the backdrop definitely puts all that soft roundness into perspective. The wine is etched, austere and firmly structured.

Il Marroneto 2007 Sangiovese Grosso (Brunello di Montalcino)
- $68
Nice ripeness, fullness and generosity here. The bouquet opens with bold brushstrokes that don’t match the delicate, subdued feel in the mouth. It delivers most of its energy on the nose and segues to a much calmer, more straightforward style on the close.
