"This magnificent wine opens with seductive aromas of ripe forest berries, blue flowers, new leather and baking spices. On the elegantly structured, savory palate, taut, polished tannins accompany raspberry compote, ripe Marasca cherry, star anise and crushed rosemary. This wine is already superbly presented, but will also offer years of pleasure. Drink between 2023 and 2029. (Wine Enthusiast 2022)

Rated (guide 2022) 95/100 (Extraordinary wine)

About the wine:

Alessandro Mori's 2017 Brunello di Montalcino Il Marroneto opens with a very distinguished and unique character that makes this wine easy to recognize in a Brunello range. This warm, dry growing season has resulted in more powerful aromas and sometimes riper flavors in the appellation, generally speaking. But this magically slender wine goes its own way, and the summer heat seems to have cemented almost exotic aromas of bay leaf, crushed flower, campfire ash and iron ore. The wine is extremely silky and elegant, but instead of opulence, you get refined tension accompanied by exalted and immediate aromas of fruit, flowers and light spices.
