About the Producer

Azienda Agricola Mastrrojanni Montalcino, Tuscany, Italy In 1975, a lawyer named Gabriele Mastrojanni bought the San Pio and Loreto estates, which are concentrated in the southeastern part of Montalcino, Castelnuovo dell’Abate. He was motivated by the land’s purity - where historically, there was little cultivation and the few people in the area raised sheep, he found nothing but sparse land up...

Glossary

Sangiovese

Italy's most planted grape variety is at the heart of some of the most beloved wines in the country. Grown all over the region, but especially in Central Italy, Sangiovese is the only grape allowed in Brunello di Montalcino, and the main grape in Vino Nobile di Montepulciano, Chianti, and countless other delicious Italian blends.

Today, Cabernet Sauvignon has a...

Tuscany

When you think of Tuscan wine, think of Sangiovese, the grape that is common to most great Tuscan reds (Vernaccia is the only white wine made here). Brunello di Montalcino, one of the most complex expressions of Sangiovese, has the best aging potential. Vino Nobile di Montepulciano shows the softer side of the grape, containing up to 20% of other varieties. Young Chianti often smells of fresh fruit and herbs, while Chianti Classico Riserva can be dark and brooding. The term “Super Tuscans”...
