Mastrojanni 2007 Vigna Loreto Sangiovese Grosso (Brunello di Montalcino)
- $120
Inky, ripe, nicely extracted and loaded tight with blackberry, spice and cherry aromas, this is a beautiful Brunello that delivers intensity, staying power and promises easy food-pairing potential. Velvety, soft, rich and plush in the mouth.

Mastrojanni 1997 Sangiovese (Brunello di Montalcino)
- Cellar Selection
- $60
Antonio Mastrojanni has made a classic, old-style Brunello. There is a chunky solidity to the wine, with black, tarry fruit over toasty, but not new wood, flavors. It is firm, robust and, at this stage, still very dry from fruit tannins. Like many Mastrojanni vintages, it needs time—in this case, at least 10 years.

Mastrojanni 2004 Vigna Schiena d'Asino Sangiovese Grosso (Brunello di Montalcino)
- $75
This delicious vineyard select Brunello offers loads of intensity and warm aromas of leather, tobacco, spice, wild mushroom, smoked ham and bursting blackberries. It’s a ripe and succulent wine with firm tannins and excellent length on the finish.

Mastrojanni 2007 Sangiovese Grosso (Brunello di Montalcino)
- $95
Here’s a dark, austere expression of Brunello, with layers of exotic spice, toasted nut, cardamom and forest underbrush. Small berry fruit comes through as raspberry and black currant. In the mouth, the wine is bright, defined and firm, showing solid tannic structure.

Mastrojanni 2006 Sangiovese Grosso (Brunello di Montalcino)
- $70
Austere and sophisticated with penetrating layers of Indian spice, dark fruit and cured meat, Mastojanni delivers the kind of Brunello you’ll want to pair with the best cuts of lamb or beef. This is an elegant and linear wine and the dark fruit element adds softness to the overall texture.

Mastrojanni 2005 Sangiovese Grosso (Brunello di Montalcino)
- Editors' Choice
- $50
We are impressed with what the Illy brothers (of the Italian coffee dynasty) have done with this historic brand from Montalcino. The wine shows personality and distinction thanks to its aromas of wild cherries, cassis, light smoke and Spanish cedar. There’s bright acidity and elegance here.

Mastrojanni 2004 Sangiovese Grosso (Brunello di Montalcino)
- Cellar Selection
- $65
One of Montalcino’s most historic brands, Mastrojanni was purchased by one of the founders of Illy espresso. The new ownership has completely revamped the retro look of this Brunello but has taken great care to maintain quality. This is a delicious wine with vibrant fruit flavors, spice and lingering freshness on the close.

Mastrojanni 2008 Sangiovese Grosso (Rosso di Montalcino)
- Online Exclusive
- $26
Spanish cedar, cola and bright cherry notes open the nose of this beautiful Rosso di Montalcino. Added complexity is evident in the many spice and leather notes you’ll encounter here and the mouthfeel is tonic, tight and rich enough to stand up to game and red meats.
