This is a rich and fruity Brunello with lots of ripe-cherry and orange-peel character. It’s full and layered with slightly chewy tannins and a flavorful finish. JS
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). This straight village bottling does a great job, and it's ultimately more accessible than many of its peers. RP

This rich, round red is marked by plum and cherry fruit, with grace notes of wild rosemary, juniper and stony mineral. Tightly wound, with an angular, steely finish that lingers nicely, despite the assertive tannins. Shows good energy. WS
