2011 Brunello di Montalcino Madonna delle Grazie
Buying options
Tasting notes
Delicate nose of perfume and wild strawberry. The palate is complex with deep concentration of dark cherry, wild herbs, spice and crushed flowers. Powdery soft texture and perfect balance from start to finish.

The 2011 Brunello di Montalcino Madonna delle Grazie is quite a bit darker and deeper than the straight Brunello, but it retains that super-classic element of weightlessness that is such a signature of this site. Macerated dark cherries, hard candy, menthol, licorice and cloves are some of the signatures in this exotic, intensely perfumed Brunello from Il Marroneto. The Madonna delle Grazie is not necessarily a better or more complex wine than the straight Brunello, but rather a different expression of this site on the northern side of town.
