Beautiful aromas of violet, rose, pressed powder, perfumed berry and refreshing mint mingle in the glass. The focused palate boasts power and finesse, and delivers a great depth of flavors including ripe black cherry, licorice, tobacco and mineral. It\u2019s still young, with youthfully austere tannins and bright acidity, but this has the fruit richness and structure for lengthy aging.<\/p>\n

“Sangiovese-whisperer Alessandro Mori has delivered another superstar wine with the 2013 Brunello di Montalcino Il Marroneto Madonna Delle Grazie. The bouquet is detailed and fine with bright accents of fragrant red rose, red currant, cola, licorice, grilled herb and crushed white peppercorn. The bouquet is loose, light and buoyant, with a smooth and natural progression of building aromas. The mouthfeel, however, is direct, important and determined. It’s that playful juxtaposition between the wine’s soft side and its stern side that makes this such an interesting and sensational wine to drink. Only 5,993 bottles were produced, and that’s the bad news.”<\/p>\n

“Luminous red. Complex aromas of red cherry, crushed stones, violet, rose and potpourri. Rich, dense and deep, offering flavors similar to the aromas and substantial, noble tannins that provide backbone and a refined austerity. Currently youthfully brooding, this will turn out to be richer, deeper and more complex than the 2013 classic Brunello. As that one is a pretty memorable wine in its own right, it\u2019s easy to see how special the 2012 Madonna delle Grazie might turn out to be. Forget about this beauty in your cellar for another decade or so.”<\/p>\n
