La Torre

Brunello “La Torre” 2001

Posted on February 6, 2020February 6, 2020 Neal RosenthalPosted in Articles, La Torre, Occasional Thoughts

Drinking this marvelous wine this evening. Gorgeous in all aspects. Aromatic with dark cherry and cigar box aromas. Quite full in the mouth but with a graceful, persistent finish marked by velvety tannins. 19 years young with plenty of energy for the long haul. A complete, complex and impeccable wine.

Your Next Lesson: Rosso di Montalcino

By Eric Asimov March 1, 2018 Back in the early days of Wine School, we focused on Chianti Classico, the signature red of Tuscany.

Old Originals

Posted on June 7, 2013February 10, 2016 Neal RosenthalPosted in Bernard Levet, La Torre, Occasional Thoughts

This week [June 2 – 8 2013] we raided the cellar again.  Without planning it, we drank two wines that share an interesting history: the 1983 Cote Rotie from Bernard Levet and the 1982 Brunello di Montalcino from Luigi Anania’s La Torre estate.  Two distinct wines with one dramatic similarity: both wines were the first

Brunello “La Torre” 1982 + Chet Baker !

Posted on June 7, 2013February 10, 2016 Neal RosenthalPosted in La Torre, Occasional Thoughts

People always talk about food and wine matches but not so often of the marriage of wine and music. Tonight [June 6, 2013] we experienced the ideal: listening to Chet Baker (singing + playing trumpet) while drinking Brunello “La Torre” 1982. Both are the ultimate in sophistication, elegance and class.  

La Torre: A rare release of Brunello Riserva

Posted on April 5, 2012February 9, 2016 Neal RosenthalPosted in La Torre, Occasional Thoughts

In several weeks, we will be releasing the Brunello di Montalcino RISERVA 2006 from Luigi Anania’s estate “La Torre”. Luigi produces a small amount of Riserva from time-to-time depending on the quality of a particular vintage. Even then, he severely restricts the amount of Riserva that he makes so that he does not affect in

La Torre’s Brunello 2003

Posted on January 22, 2012February 10, 2016 Neal RosenthalPosted in La Torre, Occasional Thoughts

I walked into the kitchen tonight after a session working on revisions to our new website to find a just-opened wine in a glass waiting for my attention. The bottle was hidden – a test for my aging palate, I suppose. One taste and an immediate expression of “Wow”! It was an immense wine, thick
