Il Marroneto Brunello di Montalcino Madonna delle Grazie 2021

98 points Eric Guido (Vinous): "The 2021 Brunello di Montalcino Madonna delle Grazie dazzles with a beguiling display of dried strawberries, spiced blood orange, cinnamon, mint and crushed stones. It is harmonious throughout, with textures of pure silk, a subtle inner sweetness and tantalizing acidity that offsets its penetrating core of tart cherry and blackberry. The 2021 leaves a chewy sensation and an array of sweet tannins that pinch at the cheeks as an air of rosy inner florals mixes with hints of Earl Grey and spice. In 2021, Madonna delle Grazie has taken on a whole new identity, relying more on beauty than power. Drink: 2030-2046. (Nov 2025)"

98 points Raffaele Vecchione (WinesCritic.com): "Precise and fragrant, the nose reveals notes of blooming wisteria, bergamot, lavender, plums, pressed blueberries, white musk, marigold, boxwood, and gardenias. Plenty of rose petals paint the secondary scene in a romantic and essential way. Full body, precise, silky tannins of extreme beauty, and a laudable and noble finish that begs for a return to the glass. A simple and enjoyable Brunello, certainly composed and seductive. Better from 2028. (Nov 2025)"

95-98 points Audrey Frick (JebDunnuck.com): "Three selections were made in this vintage that will go into the blend for the 2021 Brunello Di Montalcino Madonna Delle Grazie in final production. It is a noble and potent expression and takes on significantly more structure and potency. Here again, it retains driving energetic tension of acidity and freshness. (3/6/23)"
