Brunello di Montalcino Il Marroneto 2016 is a single-vineyard Sangiovese from the prestigious Montalcino region. This wine emerges from the Il Marroneto estate, renowned for its biodynamic practices and emphasis on low-intervention winemaking by Alessandro Mori. The 2016 vintage benefited from a harmonious climate, fostering balanced acidity and tannin integration. The aromatic profile showcases red cherries, wild herbs and a faint mineral edge. Aged in large oak barrels, the wine exhibits an understated complexity with a structure that invites further ageing.

Out of the gate, the Il Marroneto 2016 Brunello di Montalcino shows exciting purity and red fruit intensity. Compared to the Madonna delle Grazie, this wine has an ever-more lifted quality to the bouquet, whereas the Madonna has a firmer underlying texture that bodes well for longer aging. The character here is fresh, lively, youthful and vibrant. In fact, I would recommend drinking this wine while all those elements are still intact. The bouquet is crazy fun to describe. I get whiffs of black cherry, macchia mediterranea , peppercorn, dried cranberry and even a whiff of something that reminded me of the delicious rosemary herb mix you stuff inside roast porchetta. The base of the wine is light, almost weightless, but its structure and firmness do eventually catch up on the long finish. - Monica Larner
