Historically the land of Montalcino was poorly populated and hardly cultivated; it was a land of sheep farmers. It was here in 1975 that lawyer, Gabriele Mastrojanni bought the San Pio and Loreto estates and decided to plant his first vineyards, of which part are still producing Mastrojanni wines today. In the early years, only a few entered the wine-making adventure in Montalcino. Today, thanks to an exceptional terroir and the pioneers who believed in its winemaking potential for decades, Mastrojanni finds itself amongst the most respected Montalcino producers. It is here that the singular Sangiovese Grosso grape is at its best. Today Andrea Machetti is the head of the estate and works alongside winemaker Maurizio Castelli. They oversee all production processes and take a minimal interventionist approach in their winemaking; striving to showcase the Montalcino terroir as it is best expressed through the Sangiovese Grosso grape.
Tasting Notes
Deep and brilliant ruby red in the glass. Notes of ripe red fruit, enhanced by a medley of spices, leather and tobacco leaf notes. Broad and mouthfilling palate with excellent fruit concentration and powerful ripe tannins that progress to a long elegant finish. This is a wine that will develop wonderfully in the cellar should one be so patient. For those who want to enjoy it now, we suggest that you decant the bottle and drink it with a simple yet flavourful pasta, roast meat or while nibbling Pecorino or Parmesan cheese to let the wine be the star of the table. and enveloping begin with a powerful and ripe tannin, progressing into a silky and elegant finish.
