Winemaker Notes
San Pio is a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon and Sangiovese. Dark aromas of black cherries and berries, along with herbs, leather, and peppercorn abound.
With moderate tannins, this is best enjoyed with rich, meat-based meals, such as roasts or stews. Barrel aged 18 months in French oak tonneau and small barrels.
Blend: 80% Cabernet Sauvignon, 20% Sangiovese

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
This is a fun Tuscan blend of equal parts Sangiovese and Cabernet Sauvignon. The Mastrojanni 2021 San Pio (with 19,000 bottles created) reveals a saturated color and medium-rich appearance with luscious aromas of black fruit and dark plum. There is a touch of ferrous earth that ties into the wine's subtle but elegant minerality. It closes with chalky tannins.

Toscana Rosso is a budget-friendly option when serving a relaxed dinner to family and friends. The 2021 Mastrojanni San Pio is a frisky wine, showcasing appealing aromas of boysenberries and pleasing earthy notes. Put a few gruyere-topped hamburgers on the grill and have a party.

Pouring a jeweled ruby red hue, the 2021 San Pio is attractive and fruit-driven on the nose, with fresh cherries, floral perfume, purple flowers, and a citrus-tinged lift. The palate is medium-bodied and approachable, with refreshing acidity and a clean finish that keeps it highly charming.
Mastrojanni has been writing history with its wines since 1975, collecting awards from all over the world. Today, thanks to an exceptional terroir and men who have believed in it for decades, Mastrojanni has become one of the most respected Montalcino producers. The Mastrojanni winery lies in Castelnuovo dell’Abate, in the south eastern most corner of Montalcino Municipality, in the Province of Siena. An artistic and architectural heritage, surrounded by the majesty of its natural landscapes and, above all, an area particularly suitable for vine cultivation: the homeland of Brunello. A strong identity, coherence and consistency in quality: these are the values that Mastrojanni has created and cultivated over the years and which enabled the company to stand out among its peers, with its original and high-quality profile. These values are the result of a passionate, proud and respectful interpretation of nature, tradition and history of the territory.
Legendary in Italy for its Renaissance art and striking landscape, Tuscany is also home to many of the country’s best red wines. Sangiovese reigns supreme here, as either the single varietal, or a dominant player, in almost all of Tuscany’s best.
A remarkable Chianti, named for its region of origin, will have a bright acidity, supple tannins and plenty of cherry fruit character. From the hills and valleys surrounding the medieval village of Montalcino, come the distinguished and age-worthy wines based on Brunello (Sangiovese). Earning global acclaim since the 1970s, the Tuscan Blends are composed solely of international grape varieties or a mix of international and Sangiovese. The wine called Vine Nobile di Montepulciano, composed of Prognolo Gentile (Sangiovese) and is recognized both for finesse and power.
