A more floral and subtle Brunello than most 2015s with tulips, citrus and raspberries. Tightly strung, medium-bodied and precisely taut on the finish. Zesty acidity. Drink now.

The La Togata 2015 Brunello di Montalcino Carillon reveals wild berry and cassis with spice, smoke and camphor ash. The wine offers integrated acidity and lots of little spicy details on the close that could stand up to a pairing of boiled meat or pasta with game sauce, either wild boar or hare. About 12,000 bottles were produced.
