Brunello Cru La Togata dei Togati - 2017 / 2018
La Togata - Tuscany
Brunello Cru La Togata dei Togati is a distinguished wine that showcases a deep ruby red color with strong berry notes, complemented by balsamic and spicy hints. The wine offers balanced, elegant, and persistent tannins. Eric Guido for VINOUS describes it as "profound and intense, presenting crushed black cherries and ashen stone, with rose flowers and candle wax notes." The vibrant and uplifting sensation is driven by acids that enhance the mineral red fruits and citrus spices, finishing with chewy tannins and notes of black cherry and licorice.
The vineyards are located on the hills of Montalcino, at an average altitude of 250 meters, featuring mixed clay soil rich in skeletal fragments. Utilizing a bilateral and balanced cordon training system, these vines, over 20 years old, produce this exceptional Brunello.
