Il Marroneto | Montalcino

Over the last few years, Il Marroneto has rocketed to become one of the most sought-after producers in the world of fine wine. Situated immediately below the walls of Montalcino town, at the top of the hill facing out into the valley, the old vines and altitude of Il Marroneto’s vineyards produce wine that is ethereal, complex, delightful and thought-provoking all at once.

Son of lawyer Giuseppe Mori, Alessandro gave up his law career to make Brunello full time in 1994. A self-proclaimed traditionalist, he believes Brunello should always be age-worthy and full of energy, supported by a hallmark vein of acidity. He was described as "the Sangiovese whisperer" by Monica Larner of the wine Advocate due to his incredible ability to draw out the grape's innate character with immense purity and energy.

Today, Alessandro and his son Iacopo are crafting wines of almost indescribable beauty and elegance that are among the most sought-after by collectors and enthusiasts anywhere in the world.
