Be surprised
“A better preliminary practice than any other is the practice of wonder. Practice not knowing and being amazed.” – Chandra Candiani
At Mastrojanni Relais, we celebrate the connection with beauty, the terroir, and time. Beautiful things need to follow a very specific path to be born and reach maturity: here, nature blends into an evocative landscape with contrasting but perfectly harmonious identities: vineyards, woods, Mount Amiata, and the Orcia River.
We follow the natural cycles, we dedicate the necessary time to the maturation of our wine, to the care of the olive trees, and to the cultivation of our orchards.
Every day we surrender to scents and flavors, we slow down and breathe an atmosphere of timeless elegance given by those invisible details. Here we are amazed by curiosity and a way of looking at the world.
Our story began in 1975 with the Mastrojanni family who decided to renovate the two ancient farms Loreto and San Pio on a hill not far from Castelnuovo dell’Abate. The farms, originally ancient lookouts, bear witness to the passage of the Etruscans and Romans, transforming in the Middle Ages into a bulwark to defend the Via Francigena and the famous “Via dei Papi”.
This place soon became a country house and a winery. In 2011, a new restoration brought new life to the “borgo” and in 2019, Mastrojanni Relais opened the gates.
Today the winery is located a few steps from the Resort and Francesco Illy’s ownership, with a team of young enthusiasts, shares the extraordinary emotion of beauty to be discovered in the small everyday things.
An ever-evolving story of passion and dedication. Each generation has left its personal imprint, helping to create Mastrojanni’s unique identity.
