Tasting Notes: The Mastrojanni Rosso di Montalcino is characterized by an intriguing youthful classicism, featuring fragrant and juicy sour cherry. It is polished, as are all of Mastrojanni's wines, and pleasantly tannic and savory with some balsamic and spice suggestions. It will pair beautifully with grilled meat and BBQ.

Vinous 1/2022
"Mastrojanni does a wonderful job of communicating the house style through their Rosso di Montalcino, along with showcasing its southern Montalcino fruit. This wine is produced from a vineyard designated for Rosso, and it’s intended to create a fresher, leaner, yet still energetic expression of Sangiovese, which it does in spades."

    A darkly alluring mix of crushed ashen stone, balsamic spice and musky red currants wafts up from the 2020 Rosso di Montalcino. It's soft and pure in character, with ripe strawberry and cherry fruits that cascade across a core of bright acidity. This finishes incredibly fresh with a lingering spicy tension and hints of sour citrus.

    Here's a fresh and fruit-forward Sangiovese to pair with pasta or home-cooked lasagna. The 2020 Rosso di Montalcino has bright cherry aromas with dried raspberry, redcurrant, sweet potting soil and grilled Mediterranean herb. Fruit comes from young vines aged seven to 20 years old. These are sharp and focused results with a silky mouthfeel for carefree drinking with family and friends. It ends a bit thin and short, but the acidity is welcome.
