Brunello di Montalcino DOCG 2017 Mastrojanni

Castelnuovo dell'Abate, a fraction of the municipality of Montalcino in the Province of Siena, in the Tuscany region. In the estates of San Pio and Loreto, the Roman lawyer Gabriele Mastrojanni together with the famous winemaker Maurizio Castelli and Andrea Marchetti give life to a wonderful story made up of great wines and great successes.

Brunello di Montalcino DOCG (Denomination of Controlled and Guaranteed Origin) is a noble and intense red wine produced by the Mastrojanni Agricultural Company of < strong>Castelnuovo dell'abate in Montalcino from the careful and rigorous selection of only Sangiovese grapes, healthy and ripe at the right point.

The vinification takes place through a slow and delicate process in order not to compromise the integrity of the varietal profile of the grapes harvested. Aging takes place in Allier oak barrels for 36 months and a further 6 months in glass bottles.

The Mastrojanni vineyards are located at a height between 200 and 400 m m.s.l. with soils composed of clays, tuffs, ancient calcareous river pebbles and sandstones. The climate plays a fundamental role: summer with little water; continuous winds of the mistral and the libeccio; optimal temperature range for the formation of the primary aromas of the grapes.

The Mastrojanni farm is located on the slopes of Mount Amiata, an ancient extinct volcano 1738 m high. This mountain is crucial for the microclimate of the area. In the summer season, the winds that descend from the summit refresh the vineyards; as the rains approach, before the harvest, the updrafts divert the storms, protecting the vineyards from storms and hailstorms.
