Producer: La Togata is a distinguished estate in Montalcino, where the unique terroir and microclimate produce some of Italy's most revered wines.
This wine represents the pinnacle of Sangiovese Grosso, aged for a minimum of five years before release as mandated by DOCG regulations. The estate's hillside vineyards, with their galestro and clay soils, impart distinctive complexity and mineral depth. With several years of bottle age, this Brunello has begun to develop the tertiary nuances that make these wines so prized, whilst retaining the power and concentration to age gracefully for decades.
2019 Vintage was a cool, wet spring followed by a warm, dry summer without the extreme heat of recent years, and the grapes came in healthy and fully ripe after cool September nights. The wines have ripe red and black cherry held in check by bright acidity, and firm, fine-grained tannins. It's regarded as one of Montalcino's strongest recent vintages and is often compared with 2016. La Togata's Sangiovese Grosso comes from hillside vineyards on galestro and clay, spends at least five years ageing before release, and is only now starting to show the leather, tobacco and truffle notes that come with time in bottle.
