Folonari Brunello di Montalcino La Fuga 2021

Folonari Brunello di Montalcino La Fuga 2021 is a structured, expressive Sangiovese from the historic Camigliano hillside in Montalcino. Firm yet velvety tannins, vibrant acidity and extended ageing make it an appealing choice for the cellar as well as the table; Brunello itself is one of Tuscany’s most celebrated and long-lived red wine styles.

Tasting Notes
Deep and warm in character, it opens with aromas of red fruit, dried flowers and forest floor, followed by nuances of leather, incense and cocoa. The palate is balanced and substantial, with ripe fruit, firm but smooth tannins, lively acidity and an elegant finish marked by spice and balsamic notes. Its structure and acidity suggest good potential to develop with further bottle age. Enjoy it now after allowing time to breathe, or cellar it to let the savoury and tertiary notes evolve.

Production
The Sangiovese comes from Tenuta La Fuga’s vineyards on the historic Camigliano slope, northwest of Monte Amiata and close to the Val d’Orcia. At around 350 metres above sea level, the clay-and-stony soils, southwest-facing exposure and cooling sea breezes support gradual, even ripening. The grapes are selected at full maturity, harvested in October and macerated on their skins for around 15 days before temperature-controlled fermentation in stainless steel. The wine is aged for four years in total, including at least 36 months in large Slavonian oak casks and a further 12 months in bottle.

Food & Serving
Serve at around 16–18°C with roasted or grilled red meat, slow-cooked beef, game, or aged hard cheeses. Open it in advance and decant for about an hour to allow the aromas to unfold; older bottles may benefit from careful decanting to separate any sediment.

Producer
Tenuta La Fuga is part of the Folonari family’s winemaking portfolio, drawing on the family’s long experience in Tuscany. Its Brunello is made from Sangiovese grown on the estate’s Camigliano hillside, where the local soils, exposure and maritime influence shape the wine’s distinctive sense of place.
