A classic Brunello, this is 100% Sangiovese Grosso - the larger-berried form of Sangiovese that made Brunello famous - all harvested by hand and double sorted to remove any imperfect fruit. After a warm fermentation to extract structure and flavor, the wine aged 3 years in French oak barrels of sizes ranging from 15 to 54 hectoliters. These larger barrels (a normal barrique is just 2.5 hectoliters) give less wood/wine contact, allowing it to soften naturally without loss of fruit or the addition of oak barrel flavors. There’s plenty of fruit here but also a captivatingly savory element that will add plenty of complexity over the next 20 years.
“The Mastrojanni 2019 Brunello di Montalcino has a pretty bouquet with dark fruit and something exotic that recalls camphor ash, wood fire ash, garrigue and dried herb. It is rich and evenly concentrated with fine chalk on the tannins and good phenolic ripeness (with no green bitterness). A great food pairing is grilled game or the French magret de canard. This straight village bottling does a great job, and it's ultimately more accessible than many of its peers.”
“Deep red berry fruits, sweet spice, cinnamon and cloves introduce the 2019 Brunello di Montalcino. This is silky to the core, with depths of red fruit and spice, all guided by juicy acidity. Licorice and clove combine with tart raspberry as the 2019 finishes surprisingly fresh and only lightly structured.”
