The intensity and brightness of the summer of 2015 brought the old Sangiovese vines to their maximum expression, giving us a wine with great personality, guided by compact and ripe tannins, never astringent, which culminate in a finish unique in terms of elegance and depth.

Mastrojanni Cellars
Since 1975 Mastrojanni has been writing history with his wines, collecting awards all over the world. And in those years, there were very few people who started a winemaking 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 companies most respected by connoisseurs. These places have been sparsely populated and sparsely cultivated throughout the history of humanity: the land is therefore virgin, clean, free of any pollutants that, at the hands of man, could have disfigured it. In this land in 1975 the lawyer Gabriele Mastrojanni bought the San Pio and Loreto farms and decided to plant the first vineyards which still partly produce our wines today. Others, before him, starting with the pioneer Biondi-Santi, had had the same experience and the territory had clearly responded that the best grape variety for these lands is Sangiovese Grosso. Mastrojanni, wanting to make a great Brunello, planted almost exclusively 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 occasionally, 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 beyond the lawyer's initial dream. Today, contact person for the company and the Illy group. Andrea Machetti took over the reins of the company in 1992 to transform it into one of the most respected producers of Montalcino. Of few words, he now deeply knows every vine in the company, Andrea is always there, following every little detail and knows that this is the only way to make a great wine: to be at his service. Maurizio Castelli, a world-renowned winemaker for his great wines, is like Andrea and like us all an "anti-interventionist": he tries to let the wine do its own evolution, dictated by its nature. But it is clear that a winemaker 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, working 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's wines continue to be an excellence of the Montalcino area.
