Reviews
James Suckling 93
Cherry and orange peel with some fresh herbs follow through to a medium to full body with a compressed, polished palate and a long, firmly structured finish that gives the wine form and texture for the vintage.

Robert Parker 95
The Mastrojanni 2017 Brunello di Montalcino Vigna Loreto is another terrific interpretation of this hot and dry vintage, only in this case the grapes come from a special southeast-facing plot. Vigna Loreto (with 7,500 bottles made) is tonic, sharp and focused but also generous and open-knit. It offers a broad display of black and purple fruits, along with spice, peat moss and crushed flowers. Few producers were able to achieve this level of elegance in 2017.

Wine Enthusiast 91
Aromas of French oak, camphor and fruitcake form the nose. Full-bodied and structured, the assertive palate offers dried cherry, tobacco and licorice framed in close-grained, drying tannins before a coffee bean close.

Wine Spectator 91
Bright cherry and raspberry flavors are the hallmarks of this juicy red, which has a lithe profile, with well-integrated tannins. Tobacco, camphor and mineral notes play supporting roles as this lingers on the finish.

Estate
Mastrojanni has been writing history with its wines since 1975, collecting awards from all over the world. Today, thanks to an exceptional terroir and men who have believed in it for decades, Mastrojanni has become one of the most respected Montalcino producers. The Mastrojanni winery lies in Castelnuovo dell’Abate, in the south eastern most corner of Montalcino Municipality, in the Province of Siena. An artistic and architectural heritage, surrounded by the majesty of its natural landscapes and, above all, an area particularly suitable for vine cultivation: the homeland of Brunello.
Tasting notes
The nobility and purity of the indigenous Sangiovese are enhanced by the stone and tuff of the Loreto vineyard. Extremely seductive wine, with fruity notes and spicy hints admirably fused in a harmonious whole, in perfect balance between power and sweetness, strength and fragrance. Bright and deep ruby red. Aromas of exotic spices and fresh tobacco leaves enhance its ripe red fruit notes. Broad and enveloping entry, supported by a potent and ripe tannin, to conclude with a silky and elegant ending.
