Brunello Cru La Togata dei Togati is a refined expression of Montalcino, deep ruby red in color with layered notes of berries, balsamic tones, and spice. On the palate, it’s elegant and structured, with persistent, well-balanced tannins.

Eric Guido (Vinous) describes it as “profound and intense, with crushed black cherries, rose petals, ashen stone, and candle wax.” Bright acidity lifts mineral red fruits and citrus spice, finishing with chewy tannins and hints of black cherry and licorice.

Sourced from 20+ year-old vines on Montalcino’s clay-rich hills at 250m altitude, this is a true cru Brunello of character and complexity.
