{"product_id":"2021-il-marroneto-brunello-di-montalcino","title":"2021 Il Marroneto, Brunello di Montalcino","description":"Alessandro Mori’s steadfast traditionalism at Il Marroneto is defined by a non-interventionist philosophy that has avoided tilling and chemical treatments since 1988.  In the cellar, he employs high-temperature natural fermentations and extended aging—totalling 45 months for this vintage—in large Slavonian oak botti to prioritize structural transparency over primary fruit.\n\nThe estate’s vineyards on the northern slope of Montalcino sit at approximately 400 meters elevation, where sandy, fossil-rich soils and a cooler microclimate preserve the Sangiovese’s inherent nerve and tension.  A hot August ripening period followed by late-season rains resulted in a wine with more mid-palate density and power than the 2019, yet it remains anchored by the estate’s hallmark acidity and a lean, saline core.\n\nFine-grained, chalky tannins and high phenolic concentration provide a rigid architectural frame that ensures significant cellar potential.","brand":"Polaner Selections","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48117838872824,"sku":"20001","price":174.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0709\/8001\/0232\/files\/IMG_3443.jpg?v=1774472375","url":"https:\/\/mwcwine.com\/products\/2021-il-marroneto-brunello-di-montalcino","provider":"Manhattan Wine Company","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
