This single-vineyard Brunello has firm, ripe tannins, high acidity and a powerful, generous body after long time in cask, so it thrives best in the company of hearty dishes, where richness and protein soften the tannins. Choose dark meat with a good seared crust or long-braised dishes, where the deep sauce meets the wine's power and long aftertaste. At the same time the acidity cuts through fat and umami, so mature cheeses and mushroom dishes also show beautifully. In the Tuscan tradition, the wine is made for dishes from the same region.

About the wine
Vigna Schiena d'Asino is Mastrojanni's top wine. It is a single vineyard Brunello di Montalcino, which is aged for a full 42 months in Allier oak casks and then 12 months in bottles in Mastrojanni's cellar.
Schiena d'Asino has a characteristic dense, clear red color. The nose appears with notes of red fruits and balsamic vinegar. The taste starts strong and almost harsh, and ends with a generous elegant long aftertaste.
Can be enjoyed with strong dishes, but is excellent on its own. A wine that should be enjoyed with good friends.
Critic reviews

The Wine Advocate
The Mastrojanni 2018 Brunello di Montalcino Vigna Schiena d'Asino has a dry quality of fruit, more brittle, if you will, with fallen autumn leaves, wild game, underbrush, hard salami and black pepper.
