Dear Wine Lover,
We are pleased to invite you to a Brunello wine dinner with Mastrojanni, at Popinjay, The Murray Hong Kong.
Founded by Gabriele Mastrojanni, the namesake winery is a pioneer of making top-quality Brunello di Montalcino in the subzone of Castelnuovo dell’Abate, where the warm temperature is moderated by the surrounding ridges and flowing Orcia River, producing Brunellos with rich fruits, minerality and profound complexity. The estate is now owned and managed by the coffee dynasty Gruppo Illy, which puts investments in both the vineyards and cellars to further improve the quality without changing day-to-day operations or the house style.
“Vigna Schiena d'Asino” is the pinnacle of Mastrojanni. Meaning “donkey's spine”, which describes the unique location of the terroir, it is one of Montalcino’s most celebrated single-vineyard crus situated at a hillside crest with just 1 hectare in size. The wine is a harmonious balance between sophistication, power and elegance, and is only released in the best years.
