About Il Marroneto

Notes from the Winemaker: The vineyards of Il Marroneto extend on the north slope of the hill, about 350m high, in the immediate vicinity of the walls of Montalcino. The first 3000 meters of vineyard were planted in 1975, then, as many in 1979 and finally in 1984, the last 9,000. The vines of Il Marroneto are arranged so that each plant has available 3.6 square meters, allowing the vine Sangiovese, which feeds on the surface, to have space for a good rooting. The management of the vineyard, then, is based on a traditional and minimalist philosophy that borrows practices and systems used in respect of the plants, treating the vines the bare minimum and avoiding intensive production. From here the practice of natural grassing, that allows to control the vigor of the vines, with longer times of pollination and pruning in March, leaving the plants the time needed to rest.
