"What elegance and energy!"
"The entry-level Il Marroneto 2020 Rosso di Montalcino Ignaccio already gives you an idea of the house style. This wine is lively and vibrant, with aromas of red cherry, lilac and a hint of white pepper. It is aged in large oak barrels for 22 months. Honestly, I'd rather drink this Rosso than many of the Brunellos in this catalog that cost three times as much. It finishes with easy, sweet fruit flavors." (Wine Advocate 2023)

About the wine:
Rosso di Montalcino Ignaccio 2020 bursts from the glass with a lively, vibrant blend of spiced cherries, exotic red flowers and cinnamon sugar. Though elegant in the extreme, it exudes a palate-stimulating energy, with ripe berries and a hint of crushed violet candy. The 2020 retains amazing balance, finishing lively and incredibly fresh, with a lingering hint of hard candy and lavender. It's amazing how Il Marroneto is able to produce such a fruity, harmonious Rosso year after year. 2023-2026

About the wine:
A joyful wine to enjoy, with a nose of cherry, orchid and perfume that continues into a medium body, with very fine tannins and a fresh, lively finish. This is more of a balanced, refined Brunello. It's perfect for now, but has the potential to improve with age. Drink it or keep it.
