Folonari Brunello di Montalcino La Fuga 2020

Folonari Brunello di Montalcino La Fuga 2020 is a beautifully classic expression of one of Tuscany’s most celebrated wines, made entirely from Sangiovese grown in the prestigious Montalcino zone. With its long aging tradition and DOCG status, it reflects both the elegance of the region and the craftsmanship of the Folonari family, whose winemaking heritage dates back to the 18th century.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, this Brunello typically shows a deep ruby-garnet color that hints at its structure and age-worthy nature. The nose is expected to offer layered aromas of ripe red cherry, dried herbs, violets, and subtle spice, with oak-derived notes of tobacco, cedar, and a touch of earthiness. On the palate, it should feel refined yet powerful, with Sangiovese’s hallmark bright acidity, firm tannins, and flavors of sour cherry, plum, leather, and mineral nuance. Thanks to its extended maturation, the wine is built for further cellaring and can continue to develop complexity over many years.

Production
The grapes come from the Montalcino area in Tuscany, near Siena, where the vineyards sit at around 400 meters above sea level and benefit from a mild climate and cooling sea breezes. Harvest takes place in October when the fruit has reached full ripeness, followed by about 15 days of maceration on the skins. Alcoholic fermentation continues in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks at 28°C before the wine spends at least 36 months aging in 30–40 hl Slavonian oak casks, then a minimum of 12 months refining in bottle.

Food & Serving
This Brunello pairs beautifully with rich Tuscan dishes such as bistecca alla Fiorentina, slow-braised beef, game, wild mushroom risotto, and aged Pecorino. Serve at 16–18°C, and decant for at least 1–2 hours if enjoying it молодо, to allow the aromas and tannins to open fully.

Producer
Tenuta La Fuga is part of the Folonari family estate, a name deeply rooted in Italian winemaking since the 18th century. The estate is regarded as one of the notable producers in Montalcino, combining traditional methods with a privileged vineyard site to create wines of authenticity, balance, and long aging potential.
