Tasting notes
Good full, bright, deep red. Spicy aromas and flavors of cherry, plum, menthol, mint and licorice. Denser, fleshier and sweeter than the basic bottling, with strong saline minerality contributing to the impression of chewy extract. The rising finish boasts building floral length and superb thrust.

The 2007 Brunello di Montalcino Madonna delle Grazie is a huge, explosive wine endowed with fabulous aromatics, beautifully delineated fruit and plenty of supporting structure. Violets, mint, licorice and black cherries develop in the glass, adding further layers of complexity and nuance. The 2007 Madonna delle Grazie possesses stunning richness and power. Today the tannins are firm, but they will soften with further time in the bottle. This is another beautifully balanced, first-class effort from Il Marroneto.
