Note di degustazione
Expressive and pure, the 2019 Brunello Di Montalcino Vigna Schiena D'Asino offers layered aromatics of cherry cordial, pressed roses, incense, and candied licorice. The palate is medium-bodied, with resonating volume, focused acidity, and brisk, well-defined tannins, as well as persistent mouthwatering salinity and orange peel notes that last long on the finish. It’s a fabulous Brunello to drink over the coming 15 years or more. Drink 2026-2045.

This is Mastrojanni's top-shelf wine with the black wax seal affixed to the front of the bottle. The 2019 Brunello di Montalcino Vigna Schiena d'Asino comes from a ridge of vines named in Italian after its shape, which resembles the sturdy backbone silhouette of a donkey or mule. The 2019 vintage delivers robust aromas with black and purple fruits. You also get spice and char from longer cellar aging. It closes with gritty flavors of espresso or Turkish coffee over a generous, full-bodied mouthfeel. Only 5,928 bottles were created.
Dusted blackberries, sweet spice, cloves, rubbed sage, cedar box and smoke can all be found in the 2019 Brunello di Montalcino Vigna Schiena d'Asino. Velvety, nearly creamy yet lively, it washes across the palate with a dense wave of mineral-tinged dark red fruits underscored by saline minerals, all held together by a core of brisk acidity. It finishes staining, long and concentrated with edgy tannins that will require patience to resolve fully. This is a glorious rendition of Vigna Schiena d'Asino.
Dark maturing ruby with bricky rim. Ripe, concentrated and already showing some development on the nose. Rich, tangy cherry fruit with coating tannins on the palate. In spite of the considerable ripeness of fruit I expect this to age well. (WS)
