Il Marroneto Brunello di Montalcino Madonna delle Grazie 2009
Red
Brunello di Montalcino, Italy

WineSaint
Darker and more generous than Il Marroneto's standard bottling, the Madonna delle Grazie leads with black cherry, plum and game, layered with leather and warm spice. Fuller-bodied and rounder in texture, it carries real depth for the vintage — no small feat in 2009. The finish is long and resonant, with enough juicy fruit to carry this comfortably over the next several years.
