Wine Critic Reviews
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.

The 2016 Brunello di Montalcino Vigna Loreto is mentholated yet darkly floral, with crushed ashen stones and exotic spice giving way to black fruits. It’s silky and elegant with a balanced inner sweetness and crunchy red berry fruits, with brisk acidity to balance. Grippy tannins promise many years more. The 2016 is so mineral and intense; it’s a dynamic and dramatic wine.
