Our Giovesone has all the principal characteristics of the great Sangiovese wines: complexity, firmness of structure and freshness. Its colour is a brilliant and intense ruby red. The nose is mineral, fresh, with a strong presence of red fruits, blended with sweet spices, licorice, with smoky hints, in addition to an unmistakable graphite trace. In the mouth, the Giovesone is broad and long, with a soft and dense tannic texture that persists with a lively and vibrant acid vein for a fresh finish.
The Giovesone is a wine destined for a continuing and stable evolution over a very long period.
The Giovesone relies on the use, in purity, of our best Sangiovese grapes. Like the other wines of La Nascosta, they are produced from the vineyards of the Estate, located in the heart of the Val d'Orcia, at an altitude of about 420 meters. Specifically, the Giovesone comes fromf a single vineyard, of about 20 years old and a 1.4 hectares area, with an East / West exposure. The vineyard stands on a clayey soil, very rich in calcareous lithoids and sediments of marine origin from the Mio-Pliocene age, but also in volcanic rocks linked to the Pleistocene activity of the Monte Amiata. The natural characteristics of the vineyard and the management of precision applied to achieve the highest quality result in a very low yield that varies between 35 and 45 quintals per hectare.
La Nascosta was established by Antonio Mastrojanni, who was among the first winemakers in Montalcino, where he managed the Mastrojanni Winery Estate from 1980 to 2003, producing some of the most acclaimed “Brunello di Montalcino” wines. Although the family Estate was acquired in 2008 by the “Illy Coffee Group”, the name “Brunello Mastrojanni” was maintained and continues to be a point of reference for the entire appellation, regularly obtaining prestigious awards and recognition.
