Il Marroneto Brunello di Montalcino 2021
Sour cherry, dried violet, cedar and incense, Il Marroneto's 2021 opens with an aromatic precision that immediately signals something special. The texture is silken and generous without sacrificing grace, with wild strawberry fruit and a firm mineral crunch giving the mid-palate real definition. Tart citrus and concentrated raspberry push through on the back end, where edgy tannins meet a vivid, energizing acidity that keeps everything honest. This vintage reaches a level of complexity and depth I'd more typically associate with the Madonnadelle Grazie, a standout achievement for the estate.
