La Fuga Rosso di Montalcino DOC 2021 is produced by Tenuta La Fuga, an estate located in the historic district of Camigliano, southwest of Montalcino.

With 9.8 hectares of vineyards, it is ultimately the smallest estate in the family group. In addition, it enjoys moderate temperatures by the Tyrrhenian Sea. Thus, the soils were formed from land that emerged during the Pliocene era. These are therefore rich in fossils, and also in sediments from the volcano Monte Amiata, now extinct.

In addition, La Fuga Rosso di Montalcino has always been aged in 25 hl Slavonian oak barrels made in Italy. The first production of this fabulous wine dates back to 1996.

Winemaking

Vinification first takes place in stainless steel tanks at a controlled temperature of 26°/28°C. A maceration on the skins is then made for about 12 days. Then, the refining is done for 4 years, including at least 24 months in Slavonian oak barrels of 25 hl. The wine is then refined in the bottle for a minimum of 12 months.

Finally, aging lasts about 1 year, including 6 months in 30/40 hl Slavonian oak barrels. As far as refining is concerned, this lasts at least 2 months in the bottle.

Dress

The color is ruby ​​red on the one hand with shades tending to garnet.

Nose 

The class and personality of this red wine is therefore already evident on the nose. With very complex aromas (red fruits, cocoa, leather) which emerge and multiply delicately – but tirelessly.

Stuffy 

On the palate, this wine is above all balanced, but also austere and powerful, with a very persistent finish and aristocratic tannins.

Food & wine pairings 

The Fuga Rosso di Montalcino goes perfectly with main dishes in sauce made with red meat. Epicurious Brothers also recommends this unique wine with typical Italian dishes.
