Brunello di Montalcino Madonna delle Grazie 2010 from Il Marroneto is a masterful Sangiovese sourced from a single 1.6-hectare vineyard situated at 400 metres elevation. This site is characterised by its sandy, mineral-rich soils. The 2010 vintage is widely considered the greatest of the century in Montalcino, providing the perfect conditions for wines of immense longevity and aromatic precision. Alessandro Mori follows a traditionalist path, using long fermentations in oak vats and five years of ageing in large Slavonian botti. The wine offers a soaring profile of red currants, rose petals and crushed stones, with a structural elegance that is almost Burgundian in its finesse.

The 2010 Brunello di Montalcino blossoms in the glass with a burst of crushed cherries and cloves complicated by shaved cedar and sage. It’s round and soothing on the palate, with juicy acidity and a core of sour berries pinching at the cheeks as pretty inner rose tones cascade. It finishes with admirable length and is still lightly tannic, leaving a pleasant, chewy sensation. Licorice notes slowly fade. I am completely in love with the 2010s ability to show such fantastic energy yet also depth and complexity. Bravo. Eric Guido14th March 2024
