Il Marroneto is one of Montalcino’s most revered traditional producers, known for crafting Brunellos of striking finesse and longevity. Sitting at one of the highest elevations in the appellation, their vineyards produce Sangiovese with exceptional aromatic lift, precision, and structure. The 2020 vintage was marked by balance and concentration, yielding a wine that captures both purity and depth.

Bright red cherry, wild strawberry, and blood orange define the nose, layered with dried roses, fennel, and a hint of tobacco. The palate is refined yet structured, with fine-grained tannins providing backbone without heaviness. Compared to the more powerful southern Montalcino styles, Il Marroneto leans into elegance, minerality, and age-worthy tension, making it a standout for lovers of classic Sangiovese.

A perfect match for bistecca alla fiorentina, truffle-infused pastas, or aged Pecorino, this 2020 Brunello will reward patience. While beautiful with a long decant now, it is built to evolve over the next 15–25 years, unfolding layer upon layer of complexity. A timeless, collector-worthy Brunello.

Professional Reviews

Antonio Galloni

AG 96
"The 2020 Brunello di Montalcino is an understated beauty, slowly emerging with a delicate blend of rose petals, fresh mint, crushed rocks and vividly ripe black cherries. It hovers across the palate, lifted and finessed yet spry, with ripe red berry fruits and hints of lavender, taking on a liquid floral concentration toward the close. Pleasantly chewy and long, the 2020 leaves the senses stained in primary concentration, with a tinge of bitter cranberry and pretty inner florals that resonate over a bed of classically dry tannins. This is a more concentrated and intense yet wonderfully balanced rendition of Il Marroneto's Brunello." -Eric Guido

Robert Parker

RP 96
"The Il Marroneto 2020 Brunello di Montalcino is a wine of special depth and elegance. Alessandro Mori tells me that fermentation in 2020 proceeded nicely with what he describes as a "primordial stew" of grape must, resulting in high pressure "geysers" or "liquid bombs" that rip right through the cap because of pressure build-up. Someone is having tons of fun in the winery. High temperatures (between 36 to 38 degrees Celsius) serve to fix the wine's ruby color and the elegance of its perfumes, which are more floral than fruity. At the end of fermentation, he manages the skins with light wetting by hand with a tube. This vintage offers softness and a silky texture that feels glossy to the palate." -Monica Larner

Decanter

D 96
"Subtle and sweet to start, it flits with strawberry and cherry blossom before taking on earthier tones. Elegantly weighted but still tight, the palate is built around pure red cherry and raspberry, embedded with nutmeg and incense. Chalky and layered, the tannins sport an assertive bite. Give it a couple of years."

Kerin O'Keefe

WE 96
"Showing structure and finesse, the Il Marroneto 2020 Brunello is a wonderful expression of the vintage and shows the estate’s hallmark elegance and class. It opens with aromas of violet, ripe forest berry, camphor and pine forest that on the focused, savory palate segue into wild strawberry, ripe Marasca cherry, cake spice and crushed mint. It’s balanced, with fine-grained tannins and a core of tangy acidity. Drink 2028–2035. 14.5%"
