Tasting notes
Displaying a youthful red/garnet hue, the 2021 Brunello Di Montalcino Vigna Loreto is attractive on opening, with baked strawberries, mint, crushed roses, and fresh leather. The palate is medium-bodied and plush, with refreshing acidity, balanced length, and a graceful, tapering finish that closes with tangerine. It’s a lovely single-vineyard Brunello to drink over the coming 15-20 years. Drink 2026-2046.

Beautifully contoured and immediately expressive, the Mastrojanni 2021 Brunello di Montalcino Vigna Loreto brings together dark fruit, spice, minerality, Sangiovese sweetness and firm, well-shaped tannins. The wine is aromatic and accessible in its youth yet structured enough to reward additional aging, reflecting the site’s tendency toward openness and floral lift rather than sheer power. The vineyard measures 1.59 hectares at roughly 350 meters in elevation with southeastern exposures, planted on complex lacustrine soils composed of lignitic clays, sandstone, sand and conglomerates.
Maturing mid ruby with narrow orange rim. Minerals leaping out of the glass and with an undertow of raspberry underneath. The nose becomes more and more perfumed the longer the wine sits in the glass. Focused, perfumed raspberry fruit with succulent acidity. Fluid, long and intense with long, gravely tannins on the finish. (WS)
The 2021 Brunello di Montalcino Vigna Loreto is wonderfully unique, enticing with a minty freshness that gives way to spiced citrus, blackberries and rubbed sage. It is soothingly round and soft textured, with a sensation of liquid stone and cooling acidity guiding its ripe wild berry fruits. The wine leaves a web of fine tannins and tart berry concentration while tapering off long with a slight citrus twang. In 2021, Vigna Loreto is more built on energy than power.
