The Mastrojanni estate is located in Castelnuovo dell'Abate in Montalcino. They are surrounded by woods and the vineyards are planted on a combination of clay, sandstone and lime-based pebbles. The scarceness of the soils is a boon for the 40 year old vines as they dive deep into the earth resulting in finer fruit character.

Tuscany

When you think of Tuscan wine, think of Sangiovese, the grape that is common to most great Tuscan reds (Vernaccia is the only white wine made here).
