This dazzling wine is something for Sangiovese purists and lovers of extreme finesse. It literally vibrates with electric energy and charm. Opening with enticing aromas of roses, violets, berries, ploughed earth and new leather, it is youthfully intense but already a classic at this stage. With its velvety texture, it envelops everything it touches with masses of dark red fruit, liquid violet blossom, notes of lavender and sage, plus a subtle savoury note. Taut, refined tannins and bright acidity ensure a perfect balance and a promising, long ageing potential! SUPERIORE.DE

"This wine rises from the glass with heady scents of violets, roses and lilacs, which are eventually joined by dabs of pepper, floral earth and roasted chestnuts, but the palate is almost stubbornly closed, while the tannins cling insistently to a brooding core of dark cherry. The acidity is just as concentrated as the fruit, and compared to the estate's classic Brunello, the bottling from the single vineyard Madonna delle Grazie shows more density and volume, and it will have to stay in the cellar even longer." Decanter

"The undeniably elegant 2020 Brunello di Montalcino Madonna delle Grazie is amazingly fresh and vibrant on the nose, pouring from the glass with an abundance of crushed cherries, rose petals, blood oranges and cloves. The wine is exceptionally elegant and graceful, caressing the palate with its silky feel and ripe red and blue fruits. A hint of sour citrus provides contrast, a blend of ferrous minerals and fine tannins that build towards the finish. A saturation of primary concentration remains, balanced by residual acidity, while it finishes structured and incredibly long, leaving a hint of sour cherry and masses of violet pastilles. The 2020 is a beauty, complex and harmonious from start to finish. It is easily one of the absolute top wines of the vintage." Vinous

"The Il Marroneto 2020 Brunello di Montalcino Madonna delle Grazie is another classic expression of Sangiovese from winemaker Alessandro Mori and his son Iacopo. This vintage is best described as charming. It is a very pretty wine, elegant and refined, with pretty floral accents of rose and violet leaning towards a subtle menthol note. There is caramelised sugar and candied orange. This vintage is a little closed or tight in mouthfeel, suggesting it needs more time in the bottle to spread its wings." Wine Advocate
