La Torre Rosso di Toscano 'Ampelio'

From famed, old-school, Brunello producer La Torre comes this uniquely delicious red blend. It is a blend of Alicante (40%), Sangiovese Grosso (30%) and Ciliegiolo (30%). After fermentation it is aged for 12 months in small oak casks; then bottled without filtration. This cuvée was created by Luigi Anania for the first time in the 2007 vintage and is a reflection of his particular approach to, and understanding of, the historical basis for the terroir of this specific and special zone of Brunello. Certified organic since 2015.
