Brilliant ruby red with garnet reflections. Intriguing in its young classicism, it highlights ripe fruity notes enhanced by a varied spiciness. Austere with an intense entry that ends pleasantly tannic and savory on the palate.
Mastrojanni Description
An early winter characterized by very cold and dry months gave way to a cool spring, with abundant rainfall in May. These conditions slowed down the phenological phase of budding. The summer was hot, with temperatures never reaching excessive peaks and rain at the beginning of September.
The harvest was generous with a harvest time more in line with the tradition. The selection and picking of the grapes for our Brunello di Montalcino was, as usual, strictly by hand starting from September 30th, in order to favor the complexity and structure of the Sangiovese.
The grapes were selected at the sorting table based on quality, destemmed, pressed and, by gravitational fall, they were collected in resin-coated and brushed concrete tanks. Here the alcoholic fermentation process began and, based on its progress, pumpovers or delestages were carried out daily.
Wine Advocate: 95 Points
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 (with no green bitterness). A great food pairing is grilled game or the French magret de canard. This straight village bottling does a great job, and it's ultimately more accessible than many of its peers.
Wine Spectator: 93 Points
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. Solidly built, with dusty tannins vying for attention with the fruit on the lingering finish.
Vinous: 93 Points
Deep red berry fruits, sweet spice, cinnamon and cloves introduce the 2019 Brunello di Montalcino. This is silky to the core, with depths of red fruit and spice, all guided by juicy acidity. Licorice and clove combine with tart raspberry as the 2019 finishes surprisingly fresh and only lightly structured.
