The La Fortuna 2014 Brunello di Montalcino shows the thin and subdued characteristics of the vintage. The quality of fruit is dimmed or lessened in this growing season that lacked substantial sunshine and heat. The bouquet offers wild cherry, dried raspberry, spice and camphor ash. However, the wine offers less intensity in terms of mouthfeel, with extra tightness on the tannins. Bottle production is only 6,600 strong in this vintage.

A lean, sinewy style, with moderate cranberry and rhubarb flavors matched to light yet chewy tannins. Drink now through 2027. 550 cases made, 400 cases imported.??–BS??Region: Italy / Brunello di Montalcino Select to Add
