This 9 hectare estate is located immediately to the north of Montalcino town. Owner Alessandro Mori works soils of light, marine sand and has no interest in producing fruit-forward, early-drinking wine. Il Marroneto brunelli tend to be floral and mineral in character. They also age supremely well. Mori stopped making riserva wine as he considers it has become something of a gimmick.

To Arrive

Two rossos emanate from the Marroneto cellars. This is the “true” rosso; the other, labelled Iacopo after the owner’s son, is really another brunello i.e. carries more weight and intensity, both in the bottle and on the price ticket (£445 per 6 this vintage).
This wine tends to be fresher, with fruit more on the red spectrum. Absolutely delicious...and should be little reason to defer one’s pleasure (although three or four years should do it no harm at all).
All our wines are given a Sweetness Indicator from 1 to 5, with 1 being the driest and 5 being the sweetest.
This can be found for every wine under the Wine Details tab.
Most red wines are dry and therefore are indicated with a 1. The sweetness becomes more relevant with white wines, sparkling wines and pudding/dessert wines such as Sauternes and Tokaji.
