2017 Il Marroneto Brunello di Montalcino 6-Pack

The 2013 Il Marroneto Brunello di Montalcino is a beautifully made wine, which begins with inviting aromatics of red fruits, licorice, spices, florals and hints of wild herbs all taking shape in the glass. On the palate this is medium-bodied and refined, with gorgeous silky tannins and a lovely caressing mouthfeel, which is kept fresh and inviting by wonderful its underlying acidity. It continues to impress through the finish with its fantastic overall balance and precision. This is a simply fabulous, age-worthy Brunello, which should hit its stride after some short-term cellaring. J. D'Angelo

Il Marroneto's 2013 Brunello di Montalcino is a beautiful wine and one that invites you to partake in a long evening of good food and even better company. This is a deeply convivial expression of Sangiovese that offers just a glimmer of much-needed informality and coziness to guarantee comfort. But make no mistake, this Brunello reminds you of its pedigree and precision as well. The bouquet opens to white cherry, fragrant rose blossom and violets. The finish is smooth and pliable, with graceful endnotes of smoke and crushed mineral. (ML)
