La Torre
Owner/winemaker Luigi Ananìa purchased the estate in 1977,
debuting the label with the 1982 vintage. As Ananìa wrote a
thesis on the differing qualitative levels achieved by various Brunello
vineyards, it is appropriate that he determines the structure and
aging of each vintage by working with vineyards of different ages.
Ananìa is particularly interested in fully articulating the
character of the Brunellos associated with the southern portion of
the Montalcino zone, realizing wines that are fairly full in body.
However, this stylistic direction hardly provides a complete rendering
of the wine’s character. The wines are noted for being harmonious
and marked by a fresh quality that derives from the altitude at which
the estate lies. Ananìa regards his vinification methodology
as ‘traditional but not conservative,’ an orientation
that is imparted primarily through his limited
use of small cask aging and privileging of Slovenian cask maturation.
The vineyards currently comprise seven hectares, which are planted
exclusively to Sangiovese Grosso. |
