Il Marroneto, Brunello di Montalcino, 2010
A traditionalist Brunello from a benchmark vintage. Il Marroneto sits in northern Montalcino in a converted chestnut-drying tower (the name means 'chestnut grove'). The estate was founded by Giuseppe Mori in 1974; son Alessandro Mori has been making the wine since 1990 and has built it into one of Brunello's most highly regarded cult traditionalists. Aging is in large neutral Slavonian oak — never small new barriques, regardless of fashion — and the style is built for the long haul. 2010 was the benchmark classical Brunello vintage of the modern era, producing wines of remarkable elegance, depth, and aging potential. Fifteen years on, this is just entering its drinking window, with twenty or more years of life ahead.
