Restrained yet intense wine. The nose is fresh with red cherries and pomegranates, integrated violets and a rose-water touch, as well as a vibrant, schist undertone. Full-bodied and graceful, with super elegant tannins, juicy acidity and a long, tense finish. Drinkable now, but best after 2025.

You'll recognize this wine by its classy packaging that features a red wax seal on the front label. The Mastrojanni 2020 Brunello di Montalcino is a little shy initially. A few more years, even months, of bottle age should get it to shine. The bouquet is detailed and precise with small forest fruits, dried rose, earth and light spice. It pieces together well over a bright, medium-weight mouthfeel.

This Brunello deftly weaves its cherry and currant fruit with eucalyptus and tomato leaf notes, all in a succulent, elegant frame. Its fluid profile and powdery tannins make this accessible now and over the next decade or more.

Vivid black cherries are complemented by minty herbs, cedar shavings and hints of stone dust as the 2020 Brunello di Montalcino evolves in the glass. It floods the palate with juicy textures and ripe wild berry fruits as an air of lavender and sweet spice amass toward the close. The 2020 tapers off with spicy tension, leaving a tinge of sour citrus and a tart cranberry concentration, all framed by well-rounded tannins.
