Mastrojanni Brunello di Montalcino DOCG 2020 1,5L

About the wine

Classic Brunello with elegance, structure, and depth

Since 1975, Mastrojanni has been one of the steadfast reference points in Montalcino, and their 2020 Brunello di Montalcino is a textbook example of how Sangiovese can express itself with both finesse and power. The vintage was characterized by a dry spring and a warm summer, but with beautiful temperature swings between day and night in August, which ensured a balanced and calm ripening of the grapes.

The aroma reveals classic notes of cherries, dried rose petals, tobacco, and a subtle hint of forest floor and spices from barrel aging.

The taste is full-bodied with a very fine complexity and elegant tannins. There is a beautiful balance of acidity, and the aftertaste is a long and pleasant finish.

A wine with great aging potential, but also a wine that already shows beautifully with a little air in the glass.

The grapes come from vineyards at 180-420 meters altitude, exposed to the south, southeast, and southwest – and this is felt in the wine, which offers ripe fruit, but also a firm acidity and solid tannin structure. The subsoil consists of clay, sandstone, and lacustrine deposits, which contribute to the wine's complexity and minerality.

After manual harvesting and gentle pressing, the must undergoes a long maceration of at least 20 days. The wine is then aged for 36 months in large Allier barrels (16-54 hl), followed by at least 6 months of bottle aging.

Brunello di Montalcino is the jewel in Mastrojanni's collection. It is a wine for those who appreciate an elegant and complex wine from tradition, craftsmanship, and terroir.
