Il Marroneto

Il Marroneto is a wine producer based in Montalcino, in the heart of Tuscany's southern wine region. The estate specializes exclusively in Brunello di Montalcino, one of Italy's most demanding and prestigious red wine appellations. This focus reflects the traditional approach of many Montalcino producers, who dedicate themselves entirely to mastering a single, complex wine.

Brunello di Montalcino DOCG is made from Sangiovese Grosso, a clone of Sangiovese selected for the region's terroir. The appellation's regulations require extended aging—five years minimum from vintage to release—which shapes the character of wines from this area. Wines from Montalcino typically display structure, acidity, and aging potential, with flavors that evolve considerably over their first decade. The volcanic and calcareous soils of the Montalcino hillsides contribute mineral complexity and tannin refinement that distinguish these wines from other Sangiovese expressions.

Il Marroneto's current range centers on their Brunello di Montalcino, as shown by the 2017 vintage in inventory. This represents the producer's commitment to the appellation's traditional standards and the extended maturation that defines the style.
