The La Torre estate is located in the commune of La Sesta, approximately 8 kilometers south of Montalcino in the highest altitude section of the Brunello appellation, quite near to the lovely village of San Angelo in Colle.
The vineyards of Sangiovese Grosso (certified organic) are harvested by hand. All grapes are destemmed prior to fermentation. Only indigenous yeasts are used. Natural ferments in cement, followed by four years of aging in large Slavonian casks. All wines at the estate are bottled by gravity and are not filtered.
This unfussy methodology results in a wine of great purity, deeply marked by minerality and soil-derived elements, and devoid of oaky clunk.
95 Points Wine Advocate "Dusty sage and rosemary give way to shaved blood orange and nuances of white smoke as the brooding 2021 Brunello di Montalcino dominates the glass. It is dark and rich on the palate, weightier than anticipated, with depths of ripe red and black fruit over a penetrating core of minerality. The senses are left clenched by youthfully aggressive tannins as the 2021 tapers off dramatically long and structured for the cellar."
