Mastro Janni Rosso Di Montalcino 2023 (75cl, 13.5%)

Mastro Janni Rosso di Montalcino 2023 is a Tuscan red wine made from 100% Sangiovese Grosso in the Montalcino DOC, bottled at 13.5% ABV in a 750ml bottle. Mastrojanni was founded in 1975 by Alfeo Martini and is now owned by the Illy family. Fruit is hand-harvested from eight hectares, then macerated for at least 15 days in concrete vats before ageing for six months in Allier oak barrels and concrete vats, followed by at least four months in bottle. The nose shows crushed cherry, red plum, violet, lavender, dried herbs and wet-stone minerality. The palate has juicy sour cherry, wild berry, cassis, ripe blue fruit, fine polished tannins and lively acidity, with a savory balsamic quality and gentle spice. The finish is medium in length, with a chewy mineral crunch and lingering violet florals.
