From the vineyards, in the background, are the towers of the city of Siena that frame a unique scenario, in which we meet the one that is rightfully one of the most important wineries in all of Montalcino: Il Marroneto.
We are in the northern area of ​​the appellation, at about 350 meters above sea level, not far from the town walls: it is here where it all began in 1974, with Giuseppe Mori who planted the first 3 thousand meters of vineyards, which doubled in 1979, only to be added by the last 9 thousand meters in 1984.
Today it is Alessandro Mori who firmly holds the reins of the company, continuing to follow the path taken by his father more than forty years ago. Between the rows, the vines are treated to the bare minimum, and avoiding intensive production, each Sangiovese plant has 3.6 square meters available to allow for good rooting. With the utmost respect for the environment, nature, ecosystem and biodiversity, the management of the vineyard is minimalist, so that the rhythms of the season are followed as well as the balance of each individual plant is protected.
In the cellar, the spaces were originally organized into two small rooms in a building once used as a chestnut drying kiln (hence the name of the company) only to be expanded over the years, always following the logic of simplicity and functionality.
This is how Alessandro Mori still continues to pursue the main objective of the company from season to season, aimed at producing high quality wines. The great attention paid to the entire production, from harvesting to bottling, is evident in each glass, and each label is vinified according to the traditional style of Montalcino, where the skilful use of large oak barrels means that very wines are produced elegant, rich in perfumes, suitable for meditation.
From the Rosso di Montalcino "Ignaccio" to the Brunello di Montalcino, up to the "Madonna delle Grazie" selection, the ones labeled "Il Marroneto" are all wines that tell the most important prestige of the Ilcinese lands.
