The Mastrojanni Estate is situated in the south-east corner of the Montalcino region, set apart up a dirt road from the village of Castelnuovo dell'Abate. The wines are traditional and terroir-driven and the winery eschews the use of barriques as one might expect from such traditionalists. Having been purchased by coffee giants Illy, the estate has enjoyed even greater success in recent years and is now rated in the top 10 in the region.
The vines are enjoying something of a golden age, reaching their "prime production" according to Monica Larner and revealing hauntingly profound expressions of Sangiovese.
Optimal drinking window: 2026 - 2043
What the critics say:
"In the bottle with the yellow wax seal, the Mastrojanni 2020 Brunello di Montalcino Vigna Loreto (with 9,500 bottles made) embraces dark fruit nuances of damson plum, mulberry and pomegranate concentrate. This is one of the estate's most beautiful vineyard plots that you can admire as you make your way to the winery entrance. The site is awash in late-morning light. As the bouquet takes on more air, it shows blue flower, grilled rosemary and root beer. The effect is powerful yet nuanced and complex at the same time. This wine has more textural density and better length compared to many of its peers from the 2020 vintage. "
"This wine is focused on violet-scented aromas, cherries and raspberries, as well as a lightly toasty undertone. Super savory on the full-bodied palate with crisp acidity, tight yet ripe tannins and a polished finish. Drinkable now, but best after 2025."
