Il Marroneto - Rosso di Montalcino 'Iacopo' DOC - 2020

The 2020 Rosso di Montalcino Selezione Iacopo is a dusty and perfumed beauty in the glass. This wafts up with notes of dried strawberry, plums, stone dust and hints of sweet spice. It coasts along the palate with grace, carried by brilliant acidity, with a balanced inner sweetness that evolves into a salty flourish of minerality toward the close. The 2020 finishes persistent, with a fine web of tannins that punctuates things perfectly. With just a few years of cellaring, this will be a dreamy Rosso with a broad and open drinking window. Only 3,000 bottles were produced. 93+ Points Eric Guido, vinous.com The Il Marroneto 2020 Rosso di Montalcino Iacopo (with 3,330 bottles released) opens to a darker garnet color and richer saturation compared to the Ignaccio. That extra fruit weight translates to aromas of plum and black cherry. The freshness of the fruit is intact, and this wine is very bright and energetic in terms of mouthfeel. 93 Points Monica Larner, The Wine Advocate
