Rosso di Montalcino D.O.C.G. Ignaccio 2019 by Il Marroneto

The Rosso di Montalcino D.O.C.G. Ignaccio 2019 interprets with a classic style the most immediate and fragrant face of the Sangiovese of Montalcino. Signed by Il Marroneto, it is a Tuscan red wine that combines territorial authenticity, balance, and drinkability, maintaining a rigorous and pleasant profile. Its identity recalls that of Brunello, but with a younger and smoother interpretation, capable of expressing freshness, clear aromas, and an elegant structure.

Territory and wine style

This Rosso di Montalcino DOCG is made from 100% Sangiovese grown at about 400 meters above sea level, on sandy soils mixed with minerals. It is a context that favors dynamic wines, saline in the final touch and with good aromatic definition. The vinification in steel and aging in 25 quintal oak barrels for 22 months, followed by a period in the bottle, contribute to an orderly, traditional, and well-refined sip, without sacrificing the spontaneity of the fruit.

Tasting notes

In the glass, it presents the typical character of great Sangiovese reds, with a bright ruby color and elegant transparency. On the nose, aromas of cherry, small red fruits, dried flowers, and delicate spicy hints emerge, with a freshness that makes the bouquet lively and precise. On the palate, the wine is dry, harmonious, and smooth, supported by a tannic structure that is present but not intrusive. The acidic component gives lift and extends the finish, making the sip clean, balanced, and pleasantly persistent.

Recommended pairings
