Il Marroneto 2006 Selezione Madonna delle Grazie Sangiovese Grosso (Brunello di Montalcino)
- $60
Elegant and sophisticated with touches of forest berry and bramble, this Selezione Brunello offers natural qualities (such as balanced acidity and tannins) that make it a perfect match to hearty meat dishes. The close is austere, rich and firm.

Il Marroneto 2007 Selezione Madonna delle Grazie Sangiovese Grosso (Brunello di Montalcino)
- $60
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.

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 2007 Sangiovese Grosso (Brunello di Montalcino)
- $45
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.

Il Marroneto 2005 Selezione Madonna delle Grazie Sangiovese Grosso (Brunello di Montalcino)
- $90
This special selection Brunello shows ripe notes of strawberry and raspberry backed by spice and mature cherry. It’s smooth and bright with a touch of sour fruit on the close.

Il Marroneto 2005 Sangiovese Grosso (Brunello di Montalcino)
- $60
There’s a brambly, slightly raw or sharp note here that comes off as white cherry, wild berry and spice. In the mouth, the wine shows bright acidity and polished tannins.

Il Marroneto 2001 Sangiovese (Brunello di Montalcino)
This Brunello lacked aromatic intensity compared to the others. Dig deep down to draw out berry flavors, smoke, pipe tobacco, leather and vanilla. A juicy finish and nice, medium structure yield more tobacco and vanilla in the mouth.
