Brunello di Montalcino Riserva

La Torre’s Riserva is simply a selection based upon Luigi’s continual tasting amongst the various lots of Brunello to determine whether, and to what extent, there is something therein that will stand on its own as capable of making a statement distinct and more complex than the overall Brunello blend. So, there is not a systematic isolation of a particular vineyard site nor must the vines be of a particular age. The lot, when selected, is then aged in large barrel for six months or more beyond the normal aging of the Brunello from the same vintage and is then bottled, as is always the case at this estate, unfined and unfiltered.
