Brunello di Montalcino Riserva docg 2016

The vineyards are subject to a double thinning of bunches and, during harvest (end of September), the average criterion of choice is, in good vintages, three bunches of five. The grapes thus obtained are further selected in the cellar, where they are processed according to the old tradition. Intense extraction in the early stages of fermentation, followed by long quiescent maceration on skin; the maximum temperature is raised up to 33 °C and maintained at high values until the racking. The ageing in wood lasts 48 months in oak barrels from Slavonia hl 17.50, a small part in barrique. It follows bottle ageing for 12 months far beyond the mandatory minimum of 6 months from production regulations.

La Togata

The Togata is a small family company with vineyards in the south of Montalcino.

In the "caveau" the bottles are kept since the first year of production, the famous 1990.

The Togata is owned by the Angel family, a property of women: Stephania, Vanessa and Azzurra. The company is also conducted by Ms. Jeanneth Angel, master of wine, with its many years experience in international marketing in the wine world and also with the help of her husband, the lawyer Danilo Tonon, always been enthusiast of oenology. Every stage of production is personally followed with the maximum attention and dedication: from the choice of natural products for the care of the vineyards to the pruning only manuals.

The wine is aging in medium casks of Slavonian oak.

Toscana

The name of Tuscany is synonymous with its most famous, and probably Italy’s most famous, red wine. Chianti is produced in high volumes and exported worldwide, with a distinctive personality that is difficult to define but that has somehow impressed consumers all over the world. The Sangiovese grape is the key to the region’s success, as the backbone of DOCG wines in Chianti, Brunello di Montalcino, Vino Nobile di Montepulciano and Carmignano. Yet the region’s prestige is today further enhanced by the evolution of the “Super Tuscan”, wines that now rank among some of Italy’s most refined. Failing to slot into any existing DOC or DOCG category, they are now largely classed as Toscana IGT in order to avoid the humble Vino da Tavola category.
