Mastrojanni Brunello Di Montalcino "Vigna Loreto" DOCG 2017 750ml

Mastrojanni Brunello di Montalcino "Vigna Loreto" DOCG 2017 is a prestigious single-vineyard Brunello crafted exclusively from the historic Vigna Loreto vineyard, located in Castelnuovo dell'Abate on the southeastern slopes of Montalcino. Produced by Mastrojanni, one of Brunello's most respected estates since 1975, this exceptional wine is made from 100% Sangiovese grown on galestro, clay, and limestone-rich soils. The vineyard's elevated position and favourable microclimate consistently produce wines of remarkable elegance, structure, and longevity.

The warm and dry 2017 vintage produced lower yields but exceptional fruit concentration. Grapes were harvested by hand before undergoing traditional fermentation, followed by 36 months of ageing in large Allier oak casks and a minimum of six months of bottle ageing prior to release. Vigna Loreto represents one of Mastrojanni's finest single-vineyard expressions, offering remarkable depth, silky tannins, vibrant acidity, and outstanding ageing potential.
