  • Antonio Galloni, September 2016, Score: 96

    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.

  • Wine Advocate, September 2016, Score: 96

    Madonna delle Grazie is to Sangiovese what the Chapel of St. Christopher on the hill of Hermitage is to Syrah (except on a much smaller scale). This exceptional vineyard site on the steep, northern side of the appellation belongs to vintner Alessandro Mori who has recently emerged as one of the most talented winemakers in Montalcino. His expertise resides in his ability to allow Sangiovese to find its own voice. This is no small feat. His quality fruit, old vines and non-interventionist winemaking style are the secret to his success. There are no bells or whistles. Last year, I awarded the 2010 Brunello di Montalcino Madonna delle Grazie a perfect 100-point score. This year, the 2011 edition of the wine rated 96 points, but it was among my top two favorite wines of the vintage along with Salvioni's 2011 Brunello di Montalcino Cerbaiole.

Region

Montalcino

Located southwest of Chianti, Montalcino came into its own in the late 1880s when local producer,Biondi-Santi, discovered a Sangiovese clone in his vineyard that was darker in colour than the rest. Its colour, however, was not its only attribute. It produced a wine with notable body, structure and length. He named it ‘brunello' meaning little dark one. This grape's genetic properties along with Montalcino's relatively temperate climate combine to create a wine stylistically different to that of more northerly Chianti. They are usually released approximately 5 years after the vintage following 2 to 4 years ageing in wood. The denomination of Riserva indicates a wine usually produced with more concentrated grapes than the traditional cuvéeand requires a minimum of one additional year of ageing.Today, Montalcino has become one of the most sought after appellations in the Tuscan region.
