"The 2019 Il Marroneto Rosso di Montalcino Ignaccio shows a sweet cherry note characteristic of the vintage, as well as a subtle concentration that is a hallmark of the growing season. The results are bright and vertical, and the wine shows directness and a good amount of power on the bouquet. It finishes on a very refined, silky note." (Wine Advocate 2022). Goes well with all kinds of dishes, especially poultry!

About the wine:
Brimming with finesse and flavor, this young, medium-bodied red opens with intoxicating aromas of forest berries, undergrowth and grilled herbs, with a hint of leather. On the fresh, savory palate, polished tannins accompany juicy Marasca cherry, blood orange, star anise and truffle, before finishing on a note of rusty iron. Drink before 2027.
