Il Marroneto Ignaccio Rosso di Montalcino DOC 2022 is a premium single-vineyard Rosso di Montalcino crafted by the legendary Il Marroneto estate, one of Montalcino's most respected traditional producers. Produced exclusively from 100% Sangiovese, Ignaccio originates from a carefully selected vineyard with sandy, mineral-rich marine soils that impart exceptional elegance, freshness, and aromatic complexity. Named in honour of the Mori family's grandfather, Ignaccio represents a more serious, terroir-driven interpretation of Rosso di Montalcino, offering remarkable depth while maintaining the vibrant character of young Sangiovese.
The outstanding 2022 vintage benefited from meticulous vineyard selection and traditional winemaking. After gentle destemming, the must rested briefly before spontaneous fermentation in 40-hectolitre oak vats using only indigenous yeasts. Continuous pump-overs were carried out over 13–15 days, followed by 20 months of ageing in large oak casks and an additional 6 months in bottle before release. The result is a Rosso di Montalcino with the complexity of Brunello while retaining youthful fruit purity, freshness, and exceptional drinkability.
