Est. delivery in autumn, 2026

The Mastrojanni estate sits in the south-east of Montalcino, reached by a quiet dirt road near Castelnuovo dell’Abate. The approach is resolutely traditional and terroir-focused, avoiding barriques in favour of classical ageing that lets Sangiovese speak with clarity and depth. Since its acquisition by the Illy family, quality and consistency have climbed steadily, with the estate now firmly established among the region’s top producers. Mastrojanni Vigna Schiena d’Asino is a single-vineyard Brunello from the south-east of Montalcino, near Castelnuovo dell’Abate, sourced from some of the estate’s oldest and most prized vines.

The 2020 vintage in Montalcino was warm and sunny, producing wines of ripe fruit and generosity, yet crucially balanced by well-timed rainfall and cool nights that preserved acidity.
