Il Marroneto, Tuscany, Italy
14.50%, Drinking 2026-2040"Il Marroneto's 2018 Brunello di Montalcino Madonna della Grazia single vineyard Brunello is densely fragrant and has this wonderful nose of crushed roses, dark cherries and wild flowers with a little etched detail of green herb, adding intrigue and interest. On the palate it has a rich, silky texture yet with a gentle, weightless quality and lots of fine, silty tannins. This 2018 has plenty of depth of flavor and concentration to match the beautiful structure but I love the harmony of this wine the most. Madonna della Graze is approximate 1.5 hectare at 420 meters above sea level is on the northern boundary of Montalcino town. The vineyard sits just below the chapel it takes its name from and it has a mainly sandy soil rich in minerals. This Madonna della Grazie 2018 Brunello is a breathtakingly beautiful wine. I even prefer it to the stunning 2016 version of this wine at this point because the 2018 has even more finesse and harmony."

Over the last few years, Il Marroneto has rocketed to become one of the most sought-after producers in the world of fine wine. Situated immediately below the walls of Montalcino itself, the vineyard sits at the top of the hill facing out into the valley. Il Marroneto's old vines, altitude, and exposure to the valley's winds produce wine that is ethereal, complex, delightful, and thought-provoking all at once. Winemaker Alessandro Mori was described as "the Sangiovese whisperer" by Monica Larner of the Wine Advocate due to his incredible ability to draw out the grape's innate character with immense purity and energy. These magical wines have captured the world’s imagination, and their emotional impact is hard to put into words.
