Comment on noteThe wine
Imagine yourself, in the heart of Tuscany, discovering a bottle that has traversed the years with infinite grace. This Brunello di Montalcino 2000 from Tenuta La Fuga, signed Folonari, is not just a wine; it is a liquid story, an invitation to patience and to the discovery of aromas that only time knows how to chisel.
We are here in the south-west of Montalcino, precisely in Camigliano, where the Tenuta La Fuga estate of Folonari passionately cultivates Sangiovese, the sole grape variety of this Brunello. Vinification first takes place in steel tanks, with a maceration of about four weeks, allowing a gentle and deep extraction. The wine is then aged for a minimum of 36 months in large casks, before continuing its refinement in bottle, giving it that complexity and maturity that you are about to taste.
Visually, this 2000 vintage reveals an evolved colour, with reflections that betray its noble age, a promise of beautiful development. On the nose, you will be charmed by scents of ripe woodland fruits, orange zest, delicate floral notes, cedar and a touch of nuts. This aromatic maturity is complemented by earthy accents and subtle spices, creating a harmonious bouquet. On the palate, this Brunello shows itself structured but of great harmony. The tannins are silky, polished by time, and the persistence on the finish testifies to its journey and its potential. It is a wine that has known how to evolve, offering today a accomplished tasting experience.
To accompany this Brunello di Montalcino 2000, I suggest dishes with character. It will be magnificent with grilled or braised red meats, game, roasts and aged cheeses. Remember to serve it at a not too high temperature and take the time to open it delicately, letting it breathe, and checking for the presence of sediment, a sign of its age. It is an ideal wine for a special evening, a moment of sharing where conversation lingers, where flavours unfold slowly. This Brunello is a true invitation to savour the richness of time, a gem for those who appreciate wines already in full phase of evolution.
