La Togata
From a very small beginning, the winery now covers more than 16 hectares (40 acres) in the South of Montalcino.
The entire production of La Togata comes from vineyards located between Pieve di San Sigismondo, Montosoli, and Pietrafocaia. Reflecting the heritage of the region.
La Togata’s principal objective is to produce a limited edition of bottles of Brunello, demonstrating the wine’s characteristics, uniqueness, and elegance. The organoleptic characteristics of Brunello La Togata are the ruby color, fruity characteristics obtained by having the wine age for an extra year in the cellar before release. The Togata wines are fermented and are aged in a new Cantina at Sant’Angelo in Colle. The Cantina sits in the landscape with the appearance and grace of an old Venetian Villa.
The 5-story cellar, 3 underground levels, allows the wine-making to be done by gravity fall. As part of the aging process, the barrels are placed under the soil and surrounded by the natural paleolithic rock walls. There is a natural constant temperature which is never more than 18°C. Natural humidity is created by rainfall and water is retained and filtered penetrating slowly through the layers of this Galestro and Albarese rocks.
