The Mastrojanni estate sits in the south-east of Montalcino, reached by a quiet dirt road near Castelnuovo dell’Abate. The approach is resolutely traditional and terroir-focused, avoiding barriques in favour of classical ageing that lets Sangiovese speak with clarity and depth. Since its acquisition by the Illy family, quality and consistency have climbed steadily, with Mastrojanni now firmly established among the region’s top producers.
The 2021 vintage is widely hailed as outstanding in Montalcino. A mild spring, a warm but even summer and cool nights through harvest created ideal conditions, while well-timed rainfall allowed for slow, even ripening. The resulting Brunellos show ripe, expressive fruit matched by freshness, precision and vibrant energy.
What the critics say:
"Aromas of black cherries, orange peel and crushed stones, Medium-bodied with juicy fruit and a flavorful finish. There’s almost a sandy, terra cotta character in the finish. Lovely balance. Drink or hold."
"The 2021 Brunello di Montalcino smolders up from the glass with a burst of crushed ashen stone and sage, giving way to mulling spice and dried black cherries. It envelops the palate with silken textures and masses of ripe dark red fruits, soothing, polished and balanced in feel. Edgy tannins mingle with a subtle citrus twang as rosy inner florals resonate through the dramatically long, youthfully structured finale. The balance here is beyond reproach. Mastrojanni blended in the juice from the Vigna Schiena d'Asino to bolster this bottling. "
