Tasting notes
The entry-level Il Marroneto 2020 Rosso di Montalcino Ignaccio already gives you an idea of the house style. This wine is bright and vibrant with red cherry, lilac and a hint of white pepper. It ages in large oak cask for 22 months. Honestly, I would rather drink this Rosso compared to many of the Brunellos in this report that cost three times as much. It ends with easy, sweet fruit flavors. This is a 6,000-bottle release.

The 2020 Rosso di Montalcino Ignaccio bursts from the glass with a bright and vibrant mix of spiced cherries, exotic red florals and cinnamon sugar. While elegant to the extreme, there’s an energy within that stimulates the palate, as ripe berries and a hint of crushed violet candies wash across the palate. The 2020 maintains amazing balance, tapering off lively and wickedly fresh with a hint of lingering hard candies and lavender. It’s amazing how Il Marroneto is able to cull such a fruit-centric yet also totally harmonious Rosso year after year.
