Description
Mastrojanni is one of the historic estates of the Castelnuovo dell’Abate area in the southeastern part of Montalcino, a zone known for producing Brunello wines with depth, structure, and remarkable aging potential.
Founded in 1975 by lawyer Gabriele Mastrojanni, the estate quickly established itself as a benchmark producer in this warmer sub-zone influenced by Monte Amiata, where altitude, ventilation, and galestro-rich soils help preserve freshness and aromatic complexity.
Today the winery combines respect for tradition with precise vineyard work and careful cellar practices, focusing on expressing Sangiovese in a pure and elegant style. Aging takes place primarily in large oak casks, preserving the identity of the fruit and the character of the territory.
The estate farms vineyards located between 180 and 400 meters above sea level, allowing for balanced ripening and consistent quality even in warmer vintages.
The Wines
Brunello di Montalcino DOCG
The Brunello represents the core identity of Mastrojanni. It is a structured and elegant wine, combining ripe dark fruit, spice, tobacco, and mineral notes. Long aging in large oak casks gives the wine balance, depth, and longevity, making it suitable for extended cellaring.
Brunello di Montalcino Vigna Loreto
Vigna Loreto is one of the estate’s historic single vineyards, planted in 1975. This wine is known for its refinement, aromatic complexity, and precision, showing floral notes, red fruit, and subtle spice. Compared to the estate Brunello, it often emphasizes finesse and elegance over power.
Brunello di Montalcino Schiena d’Asino
Produced from a distinctive hillside vineyard, Schiena d’Asino is typically the most powerful and structured expression in the range. The wine shows dark fruit, balsamic notes, and firm tannins, with significant aging potential. It reflects the warmer microclimate and the concentration achievable in this part of Castelnuovo dell’Abate.
