Vigna Loreto from the sun-drenched single vineyard of the same name right next to the winery is only vinified in the best vintages and delivers an even more intense interpretation of the Sangiovese grape every year. If you are looking for a soft and contemporary expression of Sangiovese, this is the wine for you. It offers a deep richness and texture infused with black fruits, spice and tobacco. This wine goes a step beyond the normal boundaries of Brunello in terms of richness and extraction. For all its undoubtedly beguiling opulence, it is nevertheless a straightforward and altogether superb wine that will gain in finesse and elegance with age. SUPERIORE.DE

"Another wonderfully multi-faceted, fragrant nose with ripe raspberries and strawberries, cherry skin, a touch of mint, forest floor and with airy, wonderfully floral notes such as lilac and dried roses. Extremely juicy in the mouth, very supple and full of finesse with silky fine tannins, everything fits together well, very balanced with fine nuances and good freshness." Weinwisser

"Slightly dried-vegetable to tobacco aroma with red and black berry flavours, a hint of rust, hints of undergrowth and bacon-fleshy nuances. Ripe, quite juicy, slightly warm fruit, fine, ripe tannins, nutty barrel tones and a hint of chocolate, dried floral nuances on the palate, a hint of bacon, buttery notes, good substance and persistence, some roasting in the background, plummy tones, certain depth, a lot of power, still young, tart, partly ethereal spice, becomes firmer with air, very good, firm, warm, slightly tobacco finish." Wein-Plus

"Elegant, bright ruby red colour. Initially hints of mint and rosehip, with some violets and elegant earthy tones. On the palate with tightly woven, compact tannins, punchy and powerful, with a beautiful salinity and a minimally broad texture at the back." Falstaff

"Complex bouquet of plums and flowers, also nuances of orange zest, tobacco and spices; beautifully polished, with vivid acidity and robust tannins, the polished finish on notes of berries and lilac." Vinum

"Damson, hedgerow fruit, white pepper and clove flavours, with firm tannins, good concentration and a firm, mineral finish." Decanter

"The Brunello di Montalcino Vigna Loreto 2020 is tightly closed in its youthful state. An eruption of crushed ash stones combines with grilled herbs, dusty earth and dried black cherries. The wine is surprisingly juicy and energetic, with a creamy texture yet remarkable lift, showing ripe red and blue fruits underscored by fresh acidity. Its minerality comes through on the finish, along with sweet tannins that add a lovely frame as notes of citrus, blackberry and cocoa fade out." Vinous

"This wine focuses on violet-scented aromas, cherries and raspberries, as well as a slightly toasty undertone. It is very flavoursome on the palate, with crisp acidity, firm but ripe tannins and a polished finish." James Suckling

"The Mastrojanni 2020 Brunello di Montalcino Vigna Loreto encompasses dark fruit nuances of plums, mulberries and pomegranate concentrate. As the bouquet gains air, blue flowers, grilled rosemary and root beer emerge. The effect is powerful, but at the same time nuanced and complex. Compared to many other wines from the 2020 vintage, this wine has a greater structural density and better length." Wine Advocate

"Great precision between vineyard and cellar for an icon of this type. Great tension on the nose, blackcurrant jam, citrus fruits and thyme, then gardenia and nutmeg. In the mouth, memories of officinal and small fruits, with spicy notes. It closes with a long finish." Luca Gardini
