Reviews
Wine Advocate 96
In the bottle with the yellow wax seal, the Mastrojanni 2020 Brunello di Montalcino Vigna Loreto (with 9,500 bottles made) embraces dark fruit nuances of damson plum, mulberry and pomegranate concentrate. This is one of the estate's most beautiful vineyard plots that you can admire as you make your way to the winery entrance. The site is awash in late-morning light. As the bouquet takes on more air, it shows blue flower, grilled rosemary and root beer. The effect is powerful yet nuanced and complex at the same time. This wine has more textural density and better length compared to many of its peers from the 2020 vintage.

The 2020 Brunello di Montalcino Vigna Loreto is tightly coiled in its youthful state. A burst of crushed ashen stones combine with grilled herbs, dusty earth and dried black cherries. This is surprisingly juicy and energetic within, with creamy textures yet notable lift, showcasing ripe red and blue fruits elevated by fresh acidity. Its minerality comes through in the finish, along with sweet tannins that add a lovely framework as hints of citrus-laced blackberries and cocoa fade.

The core cherry, raspberry and plum flavors are shaded by earth, iron and tobacco in this red. There are dense, dusty tannins underneath, plus a fluid feel until the finish, which is compact and gripping.

Decanter 97
With well-layered tannic architecture and perfect, juicy fruit, the momentum is savoury and vibrant. Already enthralling, this wine will improve further. The 40ha of vineyards at Castelnuovo dell'Abate on the south-eastern side of Montalcino, became the property of Francesco Illy, former owner of Podere Le Ripi in Montalcino, in 2022.

Dark red in color, the 2020 Brunello Di Montalcino Vigna Loreto is savory and deep on the nose with polished leather, dried cherries, toasted Mediterranean herbs, and truffle earth. Full-bodied, with plush tannins, a velvety texture, and a savory finish with a hearty feel, it's a fantastically well-detailed wine. Drink it over the coming 10-15 years.

This wine is focused on violet-scented aromas, cherries and raspberries, as well as a lightly toasty undertone. Super savory on the full-bodied palate with crisp acidity, tight yet ripe tannins and a polished finish. Drinkable now, but best after 2025.
