Description

The 2009 Tenuta La Fuga Brunello di Montalcino Riserva 'Le Due Sorelle' is an exceptional expression of the Sangiovese grape from one of the most prestigious appellations in Italy. Produced by the renowned Folonari family, this Riserva is crafted only in the best vintages, showcasing a deep, intense, and complex character that truly honors its terroir in the southwest of Montalcino. Upon pouring, you are greeted with a brilliant ruby-red color that develops into rich garnet hues over time. The nose is nothing short of sophisticated, unfolding with layers of dark berries, black cherries, and a tapestry of tertiary aromas including tobacco, leather, and delicate spice notes. On the palate, the wine demonstrates a powerful and warm presence, perfectly balanced by a dense volume, silky tannins, and a persistent, harmonious finish that leaves a lasting impression. This wine is a testament to the meticulous craftsmanship of Tenuta La Fuga, having spent five years in maturation, including at least 24 months in Slavonian oak barrels and further aging in the bottle to achieve its remarkable poise. It is a profound wine that rewards patience, ideally suited for those who appreciate the depth and structure of a world-class Brunello. To fully enjoy its complexity, we recommend decanting it for at least an hour before serving at approximately 18°C. This Riserva is a magnificent partner for rich culinary experiences; it pairs beautifully with aged Tuscan pecorino, roasted game, hearty red meats, or savory dishes featuring truffles. Whether you are adding a gem to your cellar or selecting a special bottle for an unforgettable dinner, 'Le Due Sorelle' stands out as a luxurious choice for any discerning wine enthusiast.
