2021 Mastrojanni - Brunello di Montalcino (750ml)

The 2021 Mastrojanni Brunello di Montalcino delivers structured density and age-worthy tannins, rooted in the San Pio and Loreto estate vineyards of Castelnuovo dell’Abate and shaped by a drought‑tight summer followed by clarifying autumn rain. Maintained under the winemaking philosophy established in 1975 and now directed by award‑winning cellarmaster Giulia Harri, the property relies on gravity‑fed vinification in resin‑coated concrete tanks. Daily pumpovers manage extraction without harshness, while a controlled 36 months of barrel aging across Allier, Slavonian, and Styrian oak builds firm structure and preserves primary fruit expression.

This extended maturation ensures deep integration between tannin, acid, and terroir, producing a bottle built for slow structural development. On the nose, expect layers of stewed cherry, dried herbs, damp earth, and subtle clove. The palate reveals a dense middle tier supported by fine, powdery tannins that leave a persistent mineral finish. Serve this Tuscan red alongside slow‑cooked braised short rib, rustic wild boar ragù, or hard, well‑aged Pecorino to complement its savory depth. Each 750 ml bottle offers immediate approachability while holding significant potential for further evolution.
