Tradition runs deep at Il Marroneto. Its original wine cellars date back to 1246, with ancient vines planted across sprawling vineyards that lead to Montalcino. A self-described traditionalist, Giuseppe Mori forsakes herbicides and artificial chemicals in order to capture the purest expression of terroir. The result: a sangiovese that has earned four perfect scores since 2010. The 2017 Il Marroneto Madonna delle Grazie has the estate’s signature touch. It exudes finesse, structure, and shapeliness, with an endlessly silky texture. On the nose, it evokes red cherries, rose petals, licorice, baking spice, and earthiness. Framed in highly refined tannins, Il Marroneto Madonna delle Grazie is destined for an extensive cellar slumber. In the words of wine critic Monica Larner, “This is one of the icon wines of the appellation.” The Final Sip: Meticulously crafted. Elegantly defined. Undeniably ageworthy. Wine investors shouldn’t hesitate to grab one of the 400 cases of 2017 Il Marroneto Madonna delle Grazie.
Critics Scores
Vinous
The 2017 Brunello di Montalcino Madonna delle Grazie lights up the senses from the very first moment. Its aromatics alone are worth the price of entry; an exotic, spicy bouquet blends lavender, blood orange and tart raspberries with mentholated herbs, smoke and crushed stone. The textures are unbelievably soft, like liquid velvet, enveloping with mineral-tinged ripe cherries and sweet, sweet spice. This is so pretty and expressive, yet also juicy and fresh. Fine tannins mount, though they are only noticeable through the finale, where saline-minerals mix with sour citrus and autumnal spice in an expression that just goes on and on. The 2017 transcends the vintage, and while it may not possess the power typical of Madonna delle Grazie, it instead communicates its undeniable beauty and grace. I tasted the 2017 both in Montalcino, at the winery, and in our office, where it only got better over the three days I followed it. It's a total classic.
