Marroneto, Brunello Montalcino Madonna Grazie other_regions very tight and tannicThis is one of the icon wines of the appellation. The Il Marroneto 2017 Brunello di Montalcino Madonna delle Grazie shows an elegantly streamlined appearance with shiny ruby highlights.

This vintage is perhaps shapelier and more saturated with rose, wild cherry, peat moss
