Comment on noteThe wine
Imagine yourself in the heart of Tuscany, where the sun caresses the vines and every sip tells a story. This Rosso di Montalcino from La Fuga is that story I want to share with you, an authentic gem that combines the nobility of its terroir with a charming accessibility.
Nestled on the historic slope of Camigliano, southwest of Montalcino, Tenuta La Fuga is the birthplace of this wine. Here, Sangiovese reigns supreme, cultivated with passion to express all the typicity of this prestigious appellation. This Rosso di Montalcino, pure Sangiovese, is the fruit of fermentation in steel tanks, followed by maceration of about four weeks, a process that gently extracts the color and aromas.
Its robe reveals bright ruby highlights, a promise of lightness and freshness. On the nose, I detect notes of vanilla, macchia mediterranea – that fragrant scrubland so characteristic of the region – and ripe red fruits that invite tasting. On the palate, the tannins are velvety, well integrated, offering a balanced structure and beautiful freshness that makes the tasting smooth and pleasant. The aromatic profile is complemented by light floral nuances and a delicate touch of spices, for a harmonious whole. After aging for at least five months in barriques, followed by bottle refinement, this wine reveals all its complexity without ever losing its spontaneity.
This Rosso di Montalcino is an ideal companion for a multitude of dishes. I recommend it with primi di carne, those delicious pasta dishes with meat-rich sauces, or with arrosti and carni rosse. It also pairs very well with semi-hard cheeses. Its versatility makes it perfect for informal dinners with friends or family lunches. Serve it at around 16-18°C, and don't hesitate to open it a few minutes beforehand so it can fully express its aromas. It's a wine to be enjoyed in its youth to appreciate its primary freshness, an invitation to conviviality and simple pleasure.
