A joyful wine to taste with cherry, orchid and perfumes on the nose that carry forward to a medium body, with very fine tannins and a fresh and vivid finish. More like a balanced and refined Brunello. Just right now, but has the potential to improve with age. Drink or hold.
The name of this grape, meaning 'blood of Jove' conjures up evocative images of long dead civilizations, and gives the Sangiovese varietal a sense of the holy, the sacred, the special. Indeed, this particular type of Italian grape has been cultivated and processed for thousands of years, and is said to be the original favorite grape varietal of the Romans, and the Etruscans before them. Throughout history, vintners have continued to plant this varietal, and they continue to produce wonderful wines to this day. The long bunches of very dark, round fruit are treasured by fine wineries in Italy and a few other places around the world, and when young, these grapes are lively – full of strawberry flavors and a little spiciness. However, it is when they are aged in oak that they take on some truly special flavors and aromas, as seen in some of the finest wines of the Old World.
Country
Italy
There are few countries in the world with a viticultural history as long or as illustrious as that claimed by Italy. Grapes were first being grown and cultivated on Italian soil several thousand years ago by the Greeks and the Pheonicians, who named Italy 'Oenotria' – the land of wines – so impressed were they with the climate and the suitability of the soil for wine production. Of course, it was the rise of the Roman Empire which had the most lasting influence on wine production in Italy, and their influence can still be felt today, as much of the riches of the empire came about through their enthusiasm for producing wines and exporting it to neighbouring countries. Since those times, a vast amount of Italian land has remained primarily for vine cultivation, and thousands of wineries can be found throughout the entire length and breadth of this beautiful country, drenched in Mediterranean sunshine and benefiting from the excellent fertile soils found there. Italy remains very much a 'land of wines', and one could not imagine this country, its landscape and culture, without it.
Region
Tuscany
The central Italian region of Tuscany is widely understood to be one of the world's most famous and highly regarded wine regions. The beautiful rolling hillsides and medieval towns and castles which are a key feature of the area are also home to many of Europe's finest wineries, and extremely high quality vineyards growing the distinctive Sangiovese and Vernaccia grape varietals which are the flavorful backbone of Tuscany's wonderful red and white wines. For almost three thousand years, this region has been recognized as an ideal home for wine production on a large scale, and the ancient Etruscans, Greeks and Romans all noticed that fine grape varietals flourished on the unique soils and under the hot sunshine which typifies the area. Today, Tuscany is home to a wide range of wines, from the traditional to the complex, but all dedicated to excellent flavors and aromas, and maintaining the region's international reputation.

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 I Marroneto is able to cull such a fruit-centric yet also totally harmonious Rosso year after year.

This 2020 Il Marroneto Ignaccio Rosso di Montalcino has a deep, dark ruby color and an intense nose of smoky, dark fruit such as black cherry and spice with a note of fragrant crushed flowers, which is very appealing. On the palate there is a lovely, gentle texture with a little twist of silty tannins at the end and mouthwatering freshness on the finish. This wine has fine tannins and a savory, fresh finish. This is a really lovely example of Rosso di Montalcino.
