“Made strictly according to the Sangiovese playbook, the Il Marroneto 2012 Brunello di Montalcino shows that exacting Sangiovese precision and personality. This is Alessandro Mori's greatest talent. He takes this workhorse grape and gives it a platform to articulate its most hidden and intricate inner feelings and sentiments. This is a bright and very tight red wine that will benefit from more years to flesh out further. All those budding aromas of wild berry, licorice, cola, and blue flower are strategically in place and ready to explode in time. The wine opens to a luminous dark ruby color and a compact mouthfeel that is spicy and fresh on the close. This is an impressive annata wine that shows the personal evolution of a man and his estate.”

“Luminous red. Complex aromas of red cherry, crushed stones, violet, rose and potpourri. Rich, dense and deep, offering flavors similar to the aromas and substantial, noble tannins that provide backbone and a refined austerity. Currently youthfully brooding, this will turn out to be richer, deeper and more complex than the 2013 classic Brunello. As that one is a pretty memorable wine in its own right, it’s easy to see how special the 2012 Madonna delle Grazie might turn out to be. Forget about this beauty in your cellar for another decade or so.”
