30% Syrah and 20% Mourvedre

The palate is well balanced with a soft peach skin and fresh pear opening

Disgorged in March 2019 with 4

Tasted at the Alheit seminar with Chris Alheit in London

There is slightly better density to the medium weight flavors that also conclude in a youthfully austere and persistent but not really lean finale

Marroneto, Selezione Iacopo other_regions_australia 30% Syrah and 20% MourvedreThe 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. The richer fruit profile sets this wine up for a plate of pasta with sausage or with drops of truffle oil.
