Marroneto Brunello di Montalcino Madonna delle Grazie 2017 DOCG 1,5l

Il Marroneto Brunello di Montalcino Madonna delle Grazie 2017 DOCG 1,5l is an expression of terroir, maturity, and discipline, presenting itself as an authoritative interpretation of the Montalcino area in a magnum format designed for aging and sharing. Produced in a Madonna delle Grazie vineyard, located on soils rich in galestro and tuff, with south-eastern exposures, it embodies generations of careful manual work and an approach that prioritizes balance between vegetative vigor and slow ripening. Marroneto’s history is intertwined with the idea of a family winery that has chosen to reduce its environmental impact and rely on traditional practices while keeping pace with the observation of new climatic phases; the estate is defined by a choice of minimalist intervention, care for the sensuality of the fruit, and a firm belief in aging as an active part of the wine. Madonna delle Grazie, like the rest of the range, stands out for fermentation management that favors spontaneity and for maturation in large casks that preserves the terroir’s mineral albedo without intensifying the alcohol; the youthful 2017 vintage has evident yet still composed structure, capable of integrating nuances of dark cherry, delicate spices, and a hint of humus recalling toasted earth. Compared with other Brunello di Montalcino wines, Marroneto focuses on passionate density and tension between elegance and depth, offering weight without heaviness and an aromatic arc that evolves slowly over time; the choice of the 1.5-liter format enhances its presence at the table and invites revisiting it on the occasion of summer dinners or family celebrations, maintaining a concentration that remains manageable even in less formal settings. Within the Marroneto range, this wine occupies a prominent position as a benchmark of expressive terroir and restrained yet intense style, capable of accompanying meat dishes, game, and aged cheeses, while offering a velvety tannic finish and persistence that invites the next taste, in line with STELT positioning.
