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.
Complexity, depth and good ability to mature in the bottle. The wine can be really nice to drink now, but can be stored with advantage for many years to come.

This Brunello is full-bodied with fine, elegant tannins and a beautifully balanced acidity, and that makes it a classic companion to rich, fatty meat. The tannins are bound by the fat in game, lamb and beef, while the long, spicy aftertaste matches dishes prepared by robust methods such as roasting and braising. The ripe fruit and the spice also play nicely off the umami in braised dishes and off flavour-intense, aged cheeses, where wine and food meet in the same intensity.
This red is hallmarked by flavors of plum, ripe cherry, wild herbs and iron. As this develops on the palate, the purity of the fruit emerges, along with tobacco and bergamot accents.

Aromas of cranberries, figs, coffee, cloves and topsoil create a sweet, warm nose, while cherries and a citrus twist lift the cranberry note on the palate, before a finish of chocolate and spices.

Fem store stjerner.
Vi er den sydøstlige ende af zonen, hvor Mastrojanni har leveret intens brunello af høj kvalitet med stor konsistens igennem efterhånden mange år. Og det til fair priser, kvaliteten taget i betragtning. 2019’eren er ingen undtagelse. Der er tale om udsøgt brunello i en potent, semimoderne stil. Her er slagkraft og store dybder i frugten, der også er viklet elegant ind i et tydeligt, men veldoseret, fadpræg. En rigtig velduftende tonser, der dog fuldstændig bevarer fokus og balancen trods de brede skuldre og den muskuløse krop. Igen ganske typisk profil for vin fra denne varme del af appellationen ikke langt fra Monte Amiatas beskyttende tinde. I munden mørk, kompleks med muldede, tobakkede toner, medicinskab, mint og røgelse. Her er også et drys tørret blomst fra moster Elses potpourriskål. En smule volatil syre pirrer næseborene. Smagen er intens, syren levende og præcis, tanninen markant, men veldresseret. Noget af en blockbuster-brunello. Fem store stjerner.
