Inflight Event / Encounter Wake Vortex Encounter
Flight Crew Requested ATC Assistance / Clarification
Procedure; Environment - Non Weather Related
We were following a 757 on the TYNEE2 into RSW. The 757 was approximately 12-15 miles in front of us. We were both given to cross OGGER at FL270. We were given a max speed of 300 kts. We started our descent before the 757. As we were coming through FL280 we started to feel some light turbulence; then all of a sudden the plane banked hard to the right; I'm approximating at least 30 degrees. The autopilot kicked off and [the other pilot] grabbed the yoke and brought the aircraft back to level/descent flight. We leveled off at FL270; turned the autopilot back on & notified ATC of the wake turbulence.
Air carrier flight crew member reported encountering wake turbulence descending into RSW 12-15 miles in trail of a B757.
