The La Fortuna 2012 Brunello di Montalcino is an evolved and savory Tuscan red with a slightly gritty and rustic personality. The wine shows true grit and charisma, thanks to a non-conventional approach and philosophy. The fruit is presented as candied cherry and black currant with tar, licorice and cola at the back. This Brunello is aged in large Slavonian oak for a long 40-month period and that slow oxidative process accounts for some of the evolved notes you get today. The warm vintage has also contributed to those mature fruit flavors. Tobacco and spice give the wine a greater sense of dimension. Some 27,000 bottles were produced.

A dense, lush red, this delivers cherry, leather and spice flavors, with accents of earth and tar. Stays solid and long on the finish, the spice and earth elements echoing. Best from 2020 through 2033. 2,220 cases made, 1,500 cases imported.??–BS??Region: Italy / Brunello di Montalcino Select to Add
