ROBERT PARKER ” There it is: that Il Marroneto magic. To my palate, Alessandro Mori’s 2016 Brunello di Montalcino Madonna delle Grazie best captures the soaring spirit and ambition of Brunello, made in its purest and most naked form. This vintage is a twin sibling to the 2010 that I awarded a perfect score. Whereas that wine surprised me, appearing with so much unexpected radiance and brilliance, this wine won me over in a more careful, less emotional and more contemplative manner. Having now tasted the 2010 vintage multiple times, I better know what to expect in terms of the near-term aging evolution of the 2016. I know that the laser-sharp purity of the fruit will soften, leading to more nuanced and finessed tones of underbrush, lilac, iron ore and candied orange peel over the next five years. This wine unfolds to show deep complexity up front with buoyant and jovial red fruit at its core. It vibrates with electric energy and charm. “

Key Features & Benefits
Meticulously produced using 100% Sangiovese grapes cultivated in the Madonna delle Grazie vineyard, this Brunello undergoes an extended aging process of over 36 months in large Slavonian oak barrels, followed by at least 12 months in bottle. The grapes are hand-harvested to ensure optimal ripeness, accentuating the wine’s depth and structure.
This precise craftsmanship translates into a robust yet elegant profile, setting it apart from typical Brunellos. For collectors, the limited production of roughly 7,200 bottles annually enhances rarity and desirability, while the wine’s capacity to mature gracefully over decades highlights its outstanding investment appeal.
Heritage & Collectibility
Il Marroneto is celebrated for preserving traditional Montalcino winemaking techniques dating back to the early 1900s, reinforcing its reputation for exceptional quality. The Madonna delle Grazie vineyard, renowned for its unique microclimate and chalky soil, produces naturally balanced grapes that yield Brunellos prized for their finesse and longevity.
Production is intentionally capped, ensuring scarcity that fuels strong demand within global collector circles. As one of the most prestigious labels in Montalcino, this 2016 vintage exemplifies a high-potential asset for investors seeking wines with a proven track record of appreciating value.
Sensory Profile & Usage
This Brunello offers a compelling sensory experience with aromas of ripe cherries, wild herbs, and subtle hints of tobacco and spice. On the palate, expect a harmonious balance of vibrant acidity, firm tannins, and layered flavors of plum, leather, and dark chocolate, culminating in a long, nuanced finish.
To fully appreciate its complexity, serve at 18°C in large Bordeaux-style glasses. Ideal for cellaring, it benefits from proper storage in a cool, humid environment to enhance evolution. Pair it exquisitely with rich dishes like braised lamb, aged Parmesan, or wild mushroom risotto, elevating any gourmet occasion into an exclusive experience.
