"Such elegance and energy!"
"The entry-level Il Marroneto 2020 Rosso di Montalcino Ignaccio already gives you an idea of the house style. This wine is lively and vibrant, with aromas of red cherry, lilac, and a hint of white pepper. It is aged in large oak barrels for 22 months. Honestly, I would rather drink this Rosso than many Brunellos in this catalog that cost three times as much. It finishes with easy, sweet fruit flavors." (Wine Advocate 2023)

About wine:
The Rosso di Montalcino Ignaccio 2020 bursts from the glass with a lively and vibrant blend of spicy cherries, exotic red flowers, and cinnamon sugar. Although extremely elegant, it exudes an energy that stimulates the palate, with ripe berries and a hint of crushed violet candies. The 2020 maintains an astonishing balance, ending with liveliness and incredible freshness, with a hint of hard candy and lavender that lingers. It is amazing how Il Marroneto is able to produce, year after year, such a fruity and harmonious Rosso. 2023-2026

About wine:
A joyful wine to enjoy, with a nose of cherry, orchid, and fragrances that linger in a medium body, with very fine tannins and a fresh, lively finish. This is a balanced and refined Brunello. It is perfect now, but has the potential to improve with age. Drink now or cellar.
