The nose unfolds slowly with wild cherry, blood orange and rose petal, layered with crushed herbs, graphite and delicate spice. On the palate, it is both powerful and weightless, vivid red fruit wrapped in silky tannins and electric acidity. The wine builds with quiet intensity, finishing long, mineral and hauntingly elegant.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp data-start=\"717\" data-end=\"755\"\u003eThis is Brunello at its most ethereal.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp data-start=\"757\" data-end=\"947\"\u003eFor when: the bottle should feel like an event.\u003cbr data-start=\"804\" data-end=\"807\"\u003ePairs with: bistecca alla fiorentina, truffle dishes or slow roasted lamb.\u003cbr data-start=\"881\" data-end=\"884\"\u003eIf this wine were a place: sunset over the hills of Montalcino.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp data-start=\"949\" data-end=\"961\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"949\" data-end=\"961\"\u003eThe Wine\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp data-start=\"963\" data-end=\"1298\"\u003eMadonna delle Grazie is the crown jewel of \u003cstrong data-start=\"1006\" data-end=\"1022\"\u003eIl Marroneto\u003c\/strong\u003e, a tiny vineyard planted beside a small chapel overlooking the estate. The site’s altitude and rocky galestro soils produce Brunello of extraordinary perfume, finesse and longevity.
