The Saltamacchia has a strong and lively ruby color. Its aroma is intense, with hints of ripe small red fruits, black cherry, cherry and cassis, warm spicy notes of black pepper and licorice root, floral notes of elderberry, violet and wet stone. The taste is elegant, with a well-balanced acidity and an excellent aftertaste of red fruit, characterized by a good, taut and long freshness, and a fine, progressive and sweet tannin.
The “Saltamacchia” is produced from two vineyards which are part of the Nascosta Estate. They are situated in the heart of the Val d’Orcia, at an altitude between 410 and 430 meters. The two vineyards are divided by the Tuscan green bush, at the origin of the “Saltamacchia” name, which means “Skip the bush”. The vineyards cover a total area of about 1 hectare. Their soils are made of clay, rich in calcareous lithoids and sediments of marine origin from the Mio-Pliocene age and in volcanic stones linked to the Pleistocene activity of the Mount Amiata. The characteristics of the soils along with the techniques of precision applied to achieve the highest quality result in very low yields, of between 40 and 50 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.
