Il Marroneto Brunello di Montalcino Madonna delle Grazie 2021
Dried strawberry, blood orange zest, cinnamon bark, crushed stone and fresh mint, the nose alone tells you something special is happening here. On the palate, tart cherry and blackberry sit at the core, lifted by vivid acidity and wrapped in textures closer to spun silk than anything muscular. Sweet, fine-grained tannins grip lightly at the finish while Earl Grey, rose petal and warm spice drift through. What's striking about the 2021 Madonna delle Grazie is how decisively it leans into grace over force, this is a Brunello built on beauty, harmony and aromatic precision rather than sheer structural weight. Drink 2028–2045.
