Brunello Di Montalcino Madonna Delle Grazie Il Marroneto 2017

The vineyards of Il Marroneto extend along the north slope of the hill, about 350m high, in the immediate vicinity of the walls of Montalcino.

Great attention was paid to the plant, finalizing each work to obtain the highest quality of the grapes. For this reason the vineyards of Il Marroneto are arranged so that each plant has available 3.6 square meters, allowing the vine of Sangiovese, which feeds on the surface, to have the space for a good rooting.

The management of the vineyard, then, is based on a traditional and minimalist philosophy that practices practices and systems used in respect of the plants, treating the vines as a minimum and avoiding intensive production.

The grape harvest is the fundamental moment: the bunch is harvested only when the stalk begins to turn on the burnt colors, indicating that the grape seeds have reached the right ripeness.

The grape seeds, once they have ripened, give the wine the vegetable tannins, essential for making the wine young, bright and long-lived.
