La Fuga Brunello di Montalcino D.O.C.G

The Wine

Brunello la Fuga perfectly represents the territory where it is born. In fact, the southwest exposure towards the Tyrrhenian Sea and the soils rich in sediments of the historic area of Camigliano enrich the Sangiovese grapes of Tenuta la Fuga with polyphenols, content of which increases thanks to the long aging in 25hl oak barrels. Its tasting shows a fascinating and engaging character as only Brunello can reveal.
Tasting: The 2019 vintage presents on the nose with hints of berries, orange peel, flowers and cedar but also walnut and wet leaves. The palate is full-bodied with firm, velvety tannins and a juicy texture. The persistence is long and the taste is concentrated. Perfect harmony between olfactory and taste profile.
Pairing: Our “Villa di Nozzole” suggests to pair the wine with pork stuffed with duck and wild fennel seeds
First vintage: 1996

Curiosity: Brunello La Fuga has always been aged in 25 hl Italian-made Slavonian oak barrels
