2021 Brunello di Montalcino Madonna delle Grazie, Il Marroneto Wine Republic - Enoteca and Wine Merchant

2021 Brunello di Montalcino Madonna delle Grazie, Il Marroneto

Tuscany, Italy

A perfect-score Brunello from one of Montalcino’s most revered vineyards.

From one of the most revered sites in all of Montalcino, this single-vineyard Brunello captures Sangiovese at its most hauntingly beautiful. The nose is intensely perfumed with wild cherry, rose petal and blood orange, layered with hints of cypress, crushed herbs and delicate spice. On the palate, it is both powerful and impossibly refined, vibrant red fruit carried by silky tannins and electric acidity. Mineral, precise and endlessly complex, it unfolds slowly before finishing long with savoury depth and remarkable elegance.

For when: the bottle deserves a quiet table and full attention.
Pairs with: bistecca alla fiorentina, truffle dishes or aged pecorino.
If this wine were a place: the chapel vineyard above Montalcino at sunset.

The Wine

Madonna delle Grazie is the jewel of Il Marroneto, a tiny vineyard beside a historic chapel just outside Montalcino. The site’s altitude and galestro soils produce Brunello of exceptional perfume and finesse. The 2021 vintage is a wine of extraordinary focus and balance, showing seamless texture and refined tannins shaped by long ageing in large oak botti. Only around 9,000 bottles were produced, making this one of the most limited and collectable Brunellos in the world.

Founded in 1974 by Giuseppe Mori, Il Marroneto has become one of the most revered estates in Montalcino, celebrated for Brunello that emphasises purity, elegance and a profound sense of place. The estate sits just north of the town of Montalcino at a relatively high altitude, where cooler conditions and rocky galestro soils allow Sangiovese to ripen slowly, producing wines of remarkable perfume, structure and longevity. From the beginning, the philosophy has been simple: meticulous vineyard work, traditional winemaking and minimal intervention, allowing the character of the vintage and the vineyard to speak clearly.

Today, the estate is run by Alessandro Mori, Giuseppe’s son, whose careful stewardship has elevated Il Marroneto to cult status among collectors and sommeliers. Fermentations are carried out with native yeasts and ageing takes place in large Slavonian oak casks, preserving the transparency and finesse of the fruit rather than masking it with oak. The estate’s wines, particularly the celebrated Madonna delle Grazie, are widely regarded as some of the most elegant and age-worthy Brunellos produced, combining haunting aromatics, precision and extraordinary longevity.
