The estate and the wine
The estate and the wine Il Marroneto is a living legend! It stands as one of Italy’s cult wineries, captivating wine enthusiasts worldwide. Over 40 years, the Mori family has propelled it to the top of the global wine hierarchy, making it one of only five Italian wines to have ever received a perfect 100/100 score from Parker.

The incredible Brunello di Montalcino from Il Marroneto originates from 6 hectares of vineyards planted in 1975 by Giuseppe Mori. Located over 400 meters above sea level on the slopes of Montalcino, this site is ideal for producing the most elegant and aromatic wines possible. With natural farming, low yields, and traditional aging in wooden vats, these wines offer the deepest and purest expression of Sangiovese.
Wine The 2014 red Brunello di Montalcino  is a sheer marvel. Its delicacy and finesse closely resemble the finest Pinot Noirs, and the Burgundian comparison becomes particularly apt when one considers its captivating aromas of black fruits, blackcurrant, and old rose. These floral scents are one of the most enchanting characteristics of the wine, paired with a broad structure and silky tannins. The extended aging over several years adds a complete refinement and magical softness! In a magnum format, it's even better.
Vinification Hand harvested. Fermentation in stainless steel vats for 11 to 12 days. Aged 39 months (3 years and 3 months) in 25 hl oak barrels and 10 months in bottle.
