Introduction:
The 2019 Mastrojanni Brunello di Montalcino is a powerful yet refined expression of Sangiovese, showcasing the depth, structure, and elegance that define world-class Brunello. With its intense red fruit, firm tannins, and complex earthy undertones, this wine is both age-worthy and captivating in its youth.

Terrior:
Located in the southeastern part of Montalcino, Mastrojanni’s vineyards benefit from a combination of clay-limestone soils and a warm Mediterranean climate moderated by cooling breezes. These conditions allow for slow, even ripening, enhancing the wine’s balance of power and finesse.

Appearance:
Deep ruby red with garnet reflections, indicating both vibrancy and aging potential.

Nose:
Highly aromatic and complex, with notes of ripe red cherries, blackberries, and plums, intertwined with dried roses, leather, tobacco, and hints of baking spice from oak aging. Subtle mineral and balsamic undertones add further depth.

Palate:
Full-bodied with a firm yet refined tannic structure. Layers of sour cherry, dark berry, and pomegranate unfold alongside earthy elements of dried herbs, forest floor, and anise. The wine’s bright acidity ensures freshness, while the oak influence provides subtle notes of vanilla, cedar, and espresso without overshadowing the fruit.

Finish:
Exceptionally long and persistent, with lingering red fruit, spice, and a touch of savory minerality that promises further evolution with age.

Overall Impression:
A classic and beautifully structured Brunello that delivers both intensity and elegance. While approachable with decanting, this wine will continue to develop complexity over the next 15–20 years. Ideal for pairing with braised meats, wild game, aged cheeses, and rich pasta dishes.

95 points, Robert Parker's Wine Advocate:
"The Mastrojanni 2019 Brunello di Montalcino has a pretty bouquet with dark fruit and something exotic that recalls camphor ash, wood fire ash, garrigue, and dried herb. It is rich and evenly concentrated with fine chalk on the tannins and good phenolic ripeness. This straight village bottling does a great job and is ultimately more accessible than many of its peers." (12/14/23)
