Il Marroneto

The vineyards, which predominantly grow Sangiovese grapes, are carefully cultivated and sit around 400 meters (1312 feet) above sea level. The altitude, combined with the terroir of Montalcino, plays a crucial role in producing high-quality grapes with excellent ripeness and concentration.

Il Marroneto specializes in the production of Brunello di Montalcino, a renowned DOCG (Denominazione di Origine Controllata e Garantita) wine made exclusively from Sangiovese grapes. Brunello di Montalcino is known for its complexity, elegance, and ability to age gracefully. It must be aged for at least five years before release, with at least two years in oak barrels.

The winery adheres to traditional winemaking techniques, emphasizing sizable Slavonian oak barrels for aging. This approach allows the wines to develop slowly and retain the purity of fruit and the distinctiveness of the terroir.

Organic farming practices are crucial to the estate's commitment to sustainable farming practices, which prioritize environmental stewardship and the well-being of the vineyards.
