Mastrojanni: Timeless Brunello from the Southern Slopes of Montalcino
At Tuscany Uncorked Society, we are passionate about connecting our members with producers who define the soul of Tuscan wine. One such producer is Mastrojanni—a name that has become synonymous with tradition, integrity, and excellence in the world of Brunello di Montalcino.
Founded in 1975, Mastrojanni is today one of the most respected wineries in Montalcino, yet remains true to its origins: handcrafted wines that express the land, the climate, and the vintage—without compromise.
A Historic Estate with a Modern Vision
The estate was established when lawyer Gabriele Mastrojanni purchased the San Pio and Loreto estates, located on the south-eastern side of Montalcino, near Castelnuovo dell’Abate. This area is known for its sun-drenched slopes, volcanic soils, and cooler winds from Mount Amiata—an ideal terroir for structured, long-lived Brunello.
Today, Mastrojanni is under the ownership of Illy Group, yet remains committed to low-intervention viticulture, traditional winemaking methods, and the pursuit of elegant, age-worthy wines that reflect Montalcino’s noblest expression of Sangiovese.
What Makes Mastrojanni Unique?
1. Terroir-Driven Precision
Mastrojanni’s vineyards benefit from a unique combination of clay-limestone soils, high altitude, and excellent drainage, which allow for slow, balanced ripening. The result? Wines of remarkable freshness, minerality, and structure.
2. Sangiovese at Its Purest
All Mastrojanni wines are 100% Sangiovese, vinified and aged with minimal intervention. The goal is not to manipulate but to reveal the natural power and finesse of the grape as shaped by each vintage.
3. Traditional Aging Methods
Brunello and Rosso di Montalcino are aged in large Slavonian oak casks, allowing for slow maturation without overpowering the wine. This method preserves the varietal purity and aging potential for which Mastrojanni is known.
4. Wines of Character and Longevity
From the fresh and vibrant Rosso di Montalcino to the iconic Brunello Vigna Schiena d’Asino, every wine is built to last, yet approachable in youth. These are wines that evolve beautifully in the cellar.
