The organic La Torre 2020 Brunello di Montalcino is a wine of depth and dimension with plenty of red and purple berry fruits. La Torre makes Sangiovese that is aged for five years, as per the appellation guidelines, but it graciously does not have the heavy load of oak that you feel in many of its peers. The grapes ferment on the skins for up to 20 days, and the wine ages in traditional Slavonian casks. Fruit is selected from across a 4.9-hectare parcel at a cool 420 meters in elevation. A tiny 3% addition of 2021 fruit is allowed in the final blend. I love the balance and freshness of this release. Luigi Antonio Ananìa only makes a Riserva in special years, and he might produce one in 2021. Drink date: 2025-2040. Score - 96.
