MASTROJANNI – Brunello di Montalcino “Vigna Schiena d’Asino” 2015
Montalcino, Tuscany, Italy
Mastrojanni Vigna Schiena d’Asino 2015 is a prestigious single-vineyard Brunello di Montalcino, crafted exclusively from Sangiovese grown in one of the estate’s most prized vineyard parcels on the southeastern slopes of Montalcino.
“Schiena d’Asino,” meaning “Donkey’s Back,” refers to the ridge-shaped hillside where the vineyard sits. The site benefits from excellent sun exposure and cooling breezes, producing grapes with exceptional concentration and balance.
Made from 100% Sangiovese, the wine is aged traditionally in large oak casks for extended maturation, allowing the structure and purity of the fruit to shine while developing the complexity that defines great Brunello.
Deep ruby with garnet reflections. Aromas of black cherry, dried plum, and wild berries are layered with notes of tobacco, leather, balsamic herbs, and spice. The palate is powerful yet elegant, offering flavours of ripe dark fruit, cocoa, and earthy minerality, supported by firm, refined tannins and vibrant acidity, finishing long and complex.
