Brunello van traditionele leest: kleine vaten worden nadrukkelijk geschuwd bij Mastrojanni. Er wordt gezocht naar een verfijnde houttoets; het wisselen van soort hout en formaat zorgt voor een gelaagdheid en subtiliteit, die de kwaliteiten van de sangiovese-druiven en het terroir laten spreken.
Robert Parker's Wine Advocate 95/100 punten The Mastrojanni 2019 Brunello di Montalcino has a pretty bouquet with dark fruit and something exotic that recalls camphor ash, wood fire ash, garrigue and dried herb. It is rich and evenly concentrated with fine chalk on the tannins and good phenolic ripeness (with no green bitterness). A great food pairing is grilled game or the French magret de canard. This straight village bottling does a great job, and it's ultimately more accessible than many of its peers. Production is an ample 77,000 bottles.
Vinous 93/100 punten Deep red berry fruits, sweet spice, cinnamon and cloves introduce the 2019 Brunello di Montalcino. This is silky to the core with depth of red fruit and spice, all guided by juicy acidity. Licorice and clove combine with tart raspberry as the 2019 finishes surprisingly Ā fresh and only lightly structured.
Jancis Robinson 16/20 punten Mature-looking ruby with orange tinges. Slightly reduced nose with hints of tobacco leaf. Lush, ripe fruit with gritty tannins and ready now. Quite ripe and lacking in real complexity.
Raffaele Vecchione (WinesCritic) 95/100 punten Class to spare in a three-dimensional wine on the nose that shows floral, fruity and medicinal notes. The notes of karkadĆØ blend well with nuances of orange blossom and mandarin. Raspberries, currants and red plums describe the secondary profile. Medium-full body, well-polymerized tannins of splendid grit and quality and a solid and compact finish that will need time to relax. Better from 2027.
