“The 2013 Brunello di Montalcino Madonna delle Grazie pulls you close and holds your attention with a wildly perfumed and hauntingly seductive bouquet, boasting an intense array of wild strawberry, currants, waxy rose abd licorice. There are depths of plush texture, dark and rich, yet with stimulating acidity to balance, and saturating mineral-tinged red fruits and spices that cascade across the palate. This leaves you with check-puckering tension, chiseled structure and tart red berry concentration that seems like it could go on for days. The 2013 is dense and youthfully poised, yet aching to explode. This is just a baby today, but the potential is off the charts. The riserva is a special, single-barrel selection made by Alessandro Mori. While this was the first opportunity to taste the 2013 Brunello di Montalcino Riserva Madonna delle Grazie, the wine was originally released in 2019.”

“Alessandro Mori has 42 harvests under his belt yet this is the very first vintage in which he has released a Riserva. Sourced from his 1.6ha north-facing Madonna delle Grazie vineyard, it’s a separate bottling of a single botte, which Mori compares to a schoolchild who demonstrates a special gift at a young age. In a single, informal taste, this wine demonstrates a special gift at a young age. In a single, informal taste, this wine demonstrates its breed, beauty and potential, with dark nuances of forest earth, violet, stone and blue fruit. It’s deep and concentrated but not rich. Racy acidity meets long, fine, powdery tannins with a commanding grip and a finish that just doesn’t quit.”
