Tasting Note
Montalcino, a sub-region of Tuscany, is the home of the great Brunellos. This Mastrojanni is a lovely dark, currant red with aromas of great dusty Cab notes and a hint of wild strawberry. The taste is that of a luscious Euro Cab. It's not at all jammy, balanced with just enough earth and fruit. Score - 90. (Mark Tarbell, azcentral.com, April 10, 2012)
Palate and wine and food pairing: broad and persistent with smooth tannins.
Grilled and stewed red meat
