Ethereal and noble, manifesting an amazing sensory quality that leaves you dumbfounded. The alternation between pressed red flowers and dried cherries creates dynamism and gives an incandescent bouquet. In the background the grapefruit rind, cedar, white rose petals and chamomile flowers set the frame of the secondary scene which makes space with equal intensity for the principle matrix. Full bodied, perfectly polymerized fine grain tannins and a finale which really shines with light and reminds us of the essence of this territory that is unique in the world. Better from 2022.

The Vigna Loreto, located on the slope in front of the Mastrojanni winery, is the estate's showpiece vineyard, not only because it is positioned in full view of incoming visitors but also because of its ideal southeast-facing exposures. It is 1.58 hectares in size and has pebbles and tufo. The 2016 Brunello di Montalcino Vigna Loreto (with 8,000 bottles produced) is awash in sunlight and Tuscan luminosity, resulting in a ripe and fruit-forward Brunello that never shies away in terms of richness or intensity. Indeed, the wine delivers a special level of power that transcends the bouquet and the palate, resulting in dark fruit, spice, leather, cured tobacco and rosemary essence. The tannins are firm but integrated and otherwise tucked into the ample flesh of the wine.

Platinum medal
A complex, powerful nose with dried bay leaf and fresh rosemary, liquorice, fennel and robust red plum and dried tomato fruit. Ripe tannins and a long, leathery finish.
