Tasting Notes

The Wine Independent Susan Hulme - 14 Mar 23
This 2020 Il Marroneto Ignaccio Rosso di Montalcino has a deep, dark ruby color and an intense nose of smoky, dark fruit such as black cherry and spice with a note of fragrant crushed flowers, which is very appealing. On the palate there is a lovely, gentle texture with a little twist of silty tannins at the end and mouthwatering freshness on the finish. This wine has fine tannins and a savory, fresh finish. This is a really lovely example of Rosso di Montalcino.

The 2020 Rosso di Montalcino Ignaccio bursts from the glass with a bright and vibrant mix of spiced cherries, exotic red florals and cinnamon sugar. While elegant to the extreme, there’s an energy within that stimulates the palate, as ripe berries and a hint of crushed violet candies wash across the palate. The 2020 maintains amazing balance, tapering off lively and wickedly fresh with a hint of lingering hard candies and lavender. It’s amazing how Il Marroneto is able to cull such a fruit-centric yet also totally harmonious Rosso year after year.
