Il Marroneto IL MARRONETO MADONNA DELLE GRAZIE 2013 Brunello di Montalcino Riserva Magnum

Description

The Marroneto Brunello di Montalcino Riserva Madonna delle Grazie 2013 is a unique bottle of its kind.

1700 magnums (of which 200 will remain in the company as a historical memory). Mori clarifies that his idea is not “to start an annual production of Riserva, but to verify, year by year, if I feel the same emotions I had for this 2013”

Vineyard located in a strategic position near a 13th century chapel in the hills not far from the north face of Montalcino. A wine of rare complexity, it has received the highest awards from the world’s leading wine experts. Few bottles that sell like hot cakes among the connoisseurs of the best Sangiovese.

The Marroneto takes its name from an ancient tower dating back to the 13th century where the nuns (who lived in the convent of the Madonna delle Grazie) kept the chestnuts used to make flour for bread.

Il Marroneto is located in the northern quadrant of Montalcino, not far from the village. The 5.8 hectares of the estate were planted at different times: a first part in 1975, a second in 1977 and the rest in winter between 1982-1983. The vineyards are placed 400 meters above sea level, and the soils are an intricate mix of large limestone sand and marl. The vines are planted with wide spacing in mind so that the Sangiovese thrives on nutrient-rich soil.

Creating some of the most elegant and long-lived Brunellos in the denomination, Alessandro Mori can be counted among the most traditionalist producers of Brunello. Mori’s good practices require minimal intervention in the vineyard, without the use of chemical products. Fermentations entrusted to indigenous yeasts and aging in traditional oak barrels. Alessandro Mori’s goal is to create Brunello di Montalcino that express the sense of place.
