Brunello di Montalcino LA TORRE 2018

La Torre Brunello di Montalcino 2018 is an exceptional, traditionally crafted Brunello from the southern slopes of Montalcino, near the picturesque village of Sant'Angelo in Colle. Produced by the small, family-owned La Torre estate, this elegant wine showcases the remarkable finesse, complexity and ageing potential of 100% Sangiovese Grosso.

The estate's vineyards lie at approximately 420 metres elevation, on calcareous, schist-rich soils. Traditional maturation, predominantly in large oak barrels, allows the distinctive character of Sangiovese and its Tuscan terroir to shine through without excessive oak influence.

The 2018 displays a brilliant ruby-red colour with developing garnet reflections and a sophisticated bouquet of ripe cherries, wild berries, violets and dried roses, complemented by tobacco, cedar, leather, sweet spices and earthy mineral nuances. On the palate, it is concentrated yet remarkably elegant, with juicy red fruit, vibrant acidity, finely woven tannins and a long, savoury finish.

A beautifully refined Brunello, now entering an excellent drinking window! At eight years old in 2026, the wine is developing attractive secondary aromas while retaining the freshness and structure for which traditional Brunello is celebrated. Enjoy now after decanting, or cellar further for greater complexity.

A magnificent Tuscan classic – sophisticated, beautifully balanced and exceptionally age-worthy!
