2017 | Tenuta La Fuga | Brunello di Montalcino

The wine shows intense red berry aromas with leather notes on the nose and palate. The wine is full-bodied with high acidity, polished tannins and a long finish.

Reviews:

• Wine Advocate: Tenuta la Fuga is part of a larger group of wine estates in Tuscany (Ambrogio & Giovanni Folonari) that makes textbook wines that reflect their region of origin. This can be said of the 2017 Brunello di Montalcino that does not color outside the predetermined lines for a Sangiovese from Montalcino. With fruit from a hot vintage, the wine shows cassis and dark currant aromas with some dried herbs and crushed flowers. It delivers a pretty mineral note on the polished finish. Production is 22,000 bottles.

• James Suckling: Lots of ripe-cherry and sandalwood aromas with hints of fresh spices. Medium body, round tannins and a savory finish. Plummy. Drink or hold.

Producer Information

Tenuta La Fuga is located in the historic village of Camigliano southwest of Montalcino. The proximity to the Tyrrhenian Sea, the soils rich in fossils as a result of the lands that emerged in the Pliocene epoch, and the sediments of the now extinct volcano Mount Amiata, characterize the Sangiovese variety cultivated for the production of Brunello, also giving it softness, power, intense and elegance.
