This is an area with a strong winemaking tradition and the homeland of Brunello. The inactive Mount Amiata lends great character to the Sangiovese growing in this estate, as the soils are rich in gravel, clay, limestone and sandstone. The estate, founded in 1975, stretches over 90 hectares, 25 of which for vines, 14 for Brunello, with vineyards from 8 to 41 years old. The altitude of the vineyards varies from 620 to 1340 feet high. The Illy family (of the famed coffee house) bought the property in 2008 and brought in famed consulting enologist Maurizio Castelli.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt Mastrojanni, production is based on non-invasive practices and herbicides have never been used.

The palate is medium-bodied and rounded, with a bit more flesh and an open-knit feel compared to the more vertical 2023, while still retaining refreshing acidity and fine tannins. It’s an attractive Rosso that should drink well over the next several years. Drink 2026-2030.\" – Audrey Frick (Feb 2026)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e90 Points - James Suckling:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"Vivid red fruit, dried herbs and some earthy complexity on the nose. Medium-bodied, juicy and polished, with good flavors but a slightly fluid feel toward the fruity finish.
