Here's a new surprise, and a very big one at that. Available in magnum only, the Mastrojanni 2020 Rosso di Montalcino Vigna Palazzetto is symbolic of the winery's efforts to embrace the Rosso category of the appellation that has been overlooked for too long. Not anymore. Mastrojanni is not the only winery to invest in Rosso with new wines and dedicated vineyard sites. This wine has both. It shows dark cherry fruit and dried raspberry with an earthy sensation and grilled herb. Given its large bottle container, we have reason to hope for a positive bottle evolution. Some 3,200 magnums were released. Well done.
