Why the winemaker recommends Marroneto Ignaccio Rosso di Montalcino 2021

Excellent Montalcino red, 22 months in oak barrels and 6 in the bottle. A wine that can be appreciated blindly and drunk with extreme ease. Simplicity combined with quality is never banality, but value.

Characteristics of the Ignaccio red wine from Il Marroneto

Ignaccio Rosso di Montalcino starts off strong on the nose, playing on an intense and beautifully faceted bouquet, from purebred Sangiovese. Drinking, however, is more difficult with a rather grumpy tannic texture and an alcohol content which, despite the 13.5% vol. it makes itself felt.

The finish has discreet persistence, the vintage is difficult but it is reasonable to expect more.
