2016 Mastrojanni Brunello di Montalcino

The Azienda Agricola Mastrojanni is a family business founded in 1975. The family holds just over 90 hectares of rolling and gentle Tuscan hills, of which 24 hectares are devoted to vineyards. The land is located in the southeast corner of the famous DOCG Montalcino zone of Tuscany, where the Asso flows into the Orcia River. The soil and climate is influenced by an extinct volcano, the nearby Mount Amiata. The stony soil is rich in gravel, clay and limestone, which is complemented by the plentiful sunshine guaranteed by the south-eastern exposure. In 2008, a number of years after founding Mastrojanni had passed away, his children decided to sell the estate to the Illy family (Famous for their global brand of coffee). Today they continue the tradition started by the venerable Mastrojanni family.
