The entry-level Il Marroneto 2020 Rosso di Montalcino Ignaccio already gives you an idea of the house style. This wine is bright and vibrant with red cherry, lilac and a hint of white pepper. It ages in large oak cask for 22 months. Honestly, I would rather drink this Rosso compared to many of the Brunellos in this report that cost three times as much. It ends with easy, sweet fruit flavors. This is a 6,000-bottle release.

A joyful wine to taste with cherry, orchid and perfumes on the nose that carry forward to a medium body, with very fine tannins and a fresh and vivid finish. More like a balanced and refined Brunello. Just right now, but has the potential to improve with age. Drink or hold.
