WineSaint
Dark cherry, dried herbs, iron-tinged earth and a trace of tobacco spice. Where the single-vineyard Madonna delle Grazie separates itself from Il Marroneto's straight Brunello is in the integration — the tannins are fully absorbed into the fruit, creating a seamless, deeply concentrated whole. The texture is lush and lingering, the finish long and unhurried. A standout from a fine Montalcino vintage, and it still has years ahead of it. Drink 2025–2040.
