Brunello di Montalcino Vigna Loreto comes from the bunches of a red grape variety that, especially in Tuscany, manages to express itself on sublime quality levels, Sangiovese. The grapes of this variety are carefully selected during the harvest by the team of the Mastrojanni winery, so as to guarantee only the best of the terroir of origin.e.
- Process : The grapes, once arrived in the rooms used for winemaking, ferment alcoholically. We then proceed with the aging phase, in which the wine remains for 36 months to rest in Allier oak barrels; after bottling there is a further period of maturation, which lasts in glass for 8 months.
- Features : Vigna Loreto is a Brunello di Montalcino DOCG which, in the glass, takes on deep and compact contours, which recall the color of ruby. The range of aromas that envelops the nose is assembled on mainly fruity notes, embellished with light touches of sweet spices. On the palate it is of excellent structure, full-bodied and energetic, with a muscular sip that hits the palate without lingering too much, but proving to be very pleasant thanks to the velvety tannic texture.a.
- Pairings : Perfect to accompany pork shank with juniper berries, like all great reds it is also excellent sipped alone, as a meditation wine.

Cantine Mastrojanni
Mastrojanni has been writing history with its wines since 1975, collecting prizes all over the world. And in those years, very few were starting a wine adventure in Montalcino. Today, thanks to an exceptional terroir and to men who have believed in it for decades, Mastrojanni is one of the Brunello di Montalcino wineries most respected by connoisseurs. These places have been sparsely populated and little cultivated throughout the history of humanity: the earth is therefore virgin, clean, free of any pollutants that, by the hand of man, could have spoiled it. In this land in 1975 the lawyer Gabriele Mastrojanni bought the San Pio and Loreto farms and decided to plant the first vineyards that still partially produce our wines today. Others, before him, starting with that pioneer who was Biondi-Santi, had had the same experience and the territory had clearly answered that the best grape variety for these lands is Sangiovese Grosso. Mastrojanni, wanting to make a great Brunello, almost exclusively planted Sangiovese. In those same years Maurizio Castelli, still our winemaker today, became the company's reference consultant. The Mastrojanni family, who lived in Rome and came to Montalcino from time to time, decided to trust Andrea Machetti who offered to follow the evolution of the company full time. Andrea started in 1992 and his passionate work allowed Mastrojanni to grow abroad and in production, perhaps in addition to the lawyer's initial dream. Today a point of reference for the company and the Illy group. Andrea Machetti in 1992 took over the reins of the company to transform it into one of the most respected producers in Montalcino. Of few words, he now knows deeply every vine in the company, Andrea is always there, following every detail and knows that this is the only way to make a great wine: to be at his service. Maurizio Castelli, world-renowned oenologist for his great wines, is like Andrea and like all of us an anti-interventionist: he tries to let the wine make its own evolution, dictated by its nature. But it is clear that an oenologist is like a doctor, and must understand when there is a problem and know how to cure it. His trick, like that of the best doctors, is prevention. That is to work in advance, through careful and continuous presence in the company and systematic checks to preserve the wine. Thanks to the approach given by Andrea and Maurizio, Mastrojanni wines continue to be an excellence of the Montalcino area.ese.
