What makes Mastrojanni’s Rosso so compelling, and unique, starts with the wineries approach to the wine. Mastrojanni takes their Rosso seriously, dedicating a single vineyard entirely to its production. This allows them to focus on crafting a wine that is meant to be drunk young, rather than rushing to market a wine that started as Brunello, but didn’t merit the designation. The result is a serious, yet remarkably approachable wine. And one that ends up tasting a whole lot more like Brunello than the rest of the pack, just with more brightness and less oak. Tasted next to some pricey 2016 Brunellos recently, it was this Mastrojanni Rosso that I really wanted to drink (and happily did so). Crimson red in the glass with striking aromas of cherry, raspberry, violets, delicate spice notes, and fresh minerals. A supple palate follows that’s juicy, ripe, and packed full of red fruits. Medium-bodied and wonderfully balanced with a light savory edge, a fine core of tannins, and a minute long finish that’s fresh with limestone minerals. Incredible now and it will cellar for another 5 years easily. Sensational Sangiovese, I’m buying it by the case load.
Wine Advocate: 91 Points
The Mastrojanni 2022 Rosso di Montalcino is a lovely, informal wine with just the right level of Bing cherry and pomegranate to give extra lift and energy to the bouquet. It proceeds over the palate with mid-weight intensity, good balance and sweet fruit flavors. Pull the cork with your next take-out Italian meal.
