Comment on noteThe wine
Imagine yourself in the heart of Tuscany, where time seems suspended. This Brunello di Montalcino Riserva 2018 from Tenuta La Fuga is an invitation to a sensory journey, an intimate encounter with the elegance and depth of a great wine. It embodies the promise of an exceptional moment, to be savoured and shared.
It is in the southwest of Montalcino, on the Camigliano slope, that the Folonari estate passionately cultivates its Sangiovese. This terroir, bathed in sunshine and caressed by Tuscan breezes, offers ideal conditions for this emblematic grape variety to flourish. Brunello, here, is a matter of tradition and patience, an art passed down from generation to generation.
This Brunello Riserva is made exclusively from Sangiovese Grosso. After fermentation in steel tanks and maceration for three to four weeks, the wine rests for at least five years, mainly in oak barrels. This long ageing period gives it its complexity and its ability to stand the test of time. When tasting, you will discover an intense colour. On the nose, aromas of ripe red fruits mingle with spicy and more earthy notes, all with great restraint. On the palate, the structure is compact, supported by balanced acidity and tannins that are present but well integrated. The finish is pleasant, prolonging the olfactory sensations.
To fully appreciate this Brunello di Montalcino Riserva 2018, I recommend decanting it a few hours before serving, so that it can open up and reveal its full aromatic palette. Its ideal temperature is around 18°C. It will be the ideal companion to characterful dishes: think of substantial red meats, game, flavourful roasts or aged cheeses. It will also enhance mushroom-based dishes or more intense sauces. It is a wine that calls for conviviality, perfect for a special occasion or to enrich your personal cellar. An experience not to be missed for any lover of great Tuscan wines.
