92 Points Robert Parker's Wine Advocate | 92 Points James Suckling

The Tenuta La Fuga 2017 Brunello di Montalcino DOCG is a classic expression of Tuscany's most prestigious appellation, crafted from 100% Sangiovese Grosso by the respected Ambrogio & Giovanni Folonari estate. Produced from the warm 2017 vintage, this Brunello offers expressive aromas of cassis, ripe cherry, dark currant, dried herbs, crushed flowers, and sandalwood. The medium- to full-bodied palate is beautifully balanced with polished tannins, vibrant acidity, and a savory mineral finish that reflects the distinctive terroir of Montalcino. Elegant and approachable now with decanting, this Brunello will continue to develop added complexity over the next decade.
