Perched at 350 meters on the northern slopes of Montalcino, Il Marroneto stands as one of the most prestigious Brunello di Montalcino producers. Established in 1975 by Giuseppe Mori, this family-owned estate quickly earned a reputation for purity, precision, and respect for the land. The vineyards thrive on mineral-rich marine sand soils, and the elevated position ensures natural freshness and slow grape maturation—ideal conditions for cultivating Sangiovese of the highest quality.
The estate’s name, meaning “the chestnut dryer,” refers to a 13th-century building originally used to dry chestnuts, now repurposed as the winery’s heart. This historic site reflects Il Marroneto’s philosophy of patience, authenticity, and artisanal winemaking. No herbicides or synthetic treatments are used, ensuring a sustainable, organic-friendly approach. Each vine is spaced for optimal root depth, promoting resilience and rich flavor development.
Vinification is fully traditional: native yeast fermentations, natural temperature control, and aging in large oak casks. The result is a wine of impressive depth and longevity. The celebrated 2011 vintage exemplifies this mastery—complex aromatics, refined tannins, and a lingering, elegant finish. It received a rare 100-point score from Robert Parker, a benchmark achievement that confirms Il Marroneto’s world-class status.
Il Marroneto's Brunello is a wine of exceptional character, offering notes of cherry, rose, tobacco, and warm spices. Its vivid ruby color and silky texture are hallmarks of its style, balanced by bright acidity and a refined structure. Perfectly suited to red meats, game, and aged cheeses, this wine evolves gracefully with time, rewarding those who choose to cellar it.
Vintages like 2015 and 2016 further demonstrate the estate’s consistency and vision. Long oak aging allows the wine to gain depth without losing vibrancy. For lovers of great Italian wines, Il Marroneto offers a rare combination of tradition, authenticity, and finesse—now available online through the exclusive selection at 12bouteilles.com.
