This Brunello is full-bodied with fine, elegant tannins and a beautifully balanced acidity, and that makes it a classic companion to rich, fatty protein. The mature tannins get something to work with when they meet the fat in red meat and game, where they are softened and in turn cut through the fat and make the mouth fresh again. The spicy fruit and long aftertaste match dishes prepared by braising or grilling, and the acidity also holds up to mature, powerful cheeses. Steer clear of lean fish dishes, where the tannin easily turns metallic.

About the wine

Brunello di Montalcino is the ruby ​​in Mastrojanni's collection.

With a clear and intense ruby ​​red colour, Mastrojannis Brunello di Montalcino looks good in any glass. The nose is full of ripe fruit that mixes with spicy notes. The wine is full-bodied with fine, elegant tannins. There is a nice balance on the acidity and the aftertaste is a long and pleasant finish.

The wine is aged in Allier oak casks for 36 months and at least another six months in bottle in Mastrojanni's cellar before release.

Can be enjoyed alone from large wine glasses.

Brunello di Montalcino from the 2018 vintage has already garnered great praise from wine connoisseurs and reviewers. In particular, the complexity, depth and ability to mature in the bottle have been highlighted. The wine can be really nice to drink now, but can be stored with advantage for many years to come.

Critic reviews

94Antonio Galloni
Vinous
Mastrojanni's Brunello di Montalcino presents a complex, dark, and earthy display of ripe black cherries that gives way to dusty, dried florals, spice box, crushed stone and hints of animal musk.
95Monica Larner
The Wine Advocate
This wine is not labeled Riserva, but it could be for all practical purposes. The Mastrojanni 2018 Brunello di Montalcino Vigna Schiena d'Asino has a dry quality of fruit, more brittle, if you will, with fallen autumn leaves, wild game, underbrush, hard salami and black pepper.
94+Robert Parker
The Wine Advocate
The Mastrojanni Brunello di Montalcino has a succulent or meaty quality that adds to the overall intensity of the wine. You get rich fruit, baking spice and even a touch of rum cake.

Wow. What a gorgeous Brunello with complex and beautiful aromas and flavors of cherries, flowers, walnuts and berries. It's full-bodied, yet so polished and refined with soft, creamy tannins that are long and linear at the end.
