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

<h3>Cantine Mastrojanni</h3>
<p>Since 1975, Mastrojanni has written history with his wines, collecting awards all over the world. And in those years, very few began 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 most respected Brunello di Montalcino companies 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 pollutant that, at the hands of man, could have defaced 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 area had clearly answered that the best vine 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 oenologist today, became the company's reference consultant. The Mastrojanni family, who lived in Rome and came to Montalcino occasionally, decided to put their trust in 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 initial dream of being a lawyer. 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 of Montalcino. Of few words, he now knows deeply every vine in the company, Andrea is always there, following every single 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 his nature. But it is clear that a winemaker is like a doctor, and he 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.</p>
