Castelnuovo dell'Abate, a fraction of the municipality of Montalcino in the Province of Siena, in the Tuscany region.

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 to 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.
