The Gisso has a bright straw yellow color, with a delicate greenish glaze. In the perfume, the aromas of lemon peel, mandarin and exotic fruit stand out, overlapping the aromatic olfactory components of the sambuca flower, gooseberry and a delicate herbaceous hint. The flavor confirms the fruity taste already perceived in the bouquet, accompanied by a delicate and fresh acidity. The aftertaste is mineral, sapid and, at the same time, very rich in aromas.
Like all the wines of La Nascosta, the Gisso is produced from vineyards of the Estate, in the heart of the Val d’Orcia. Destined for Gisso are three small vineyards covering a total area of about 1.3 hectares, at altitudes varying between 400 and 460 meters. Exposed to East and South/East, they arise on a clayey-marnoscistic soils, interspersed with clay and galestri that tend to flake off in small and thin foils with colors ranging from deep red to gray. The characteristics of the soil and the precision techniques used to achieve the highest quality result in very low yields, of between 50 and 60 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.
