Brunello di Montalcino La Fuga 2000

Tenute Folonari (Italy)

Sangiovese
Red Wine	Score: ✧✧✧✧

This Brunello di Montalcino shows a brilliant ruby red color and nuances of garnet red, little transparency. The nose reveals intense, clean, pleasing and refined aromas which start with hints of black cherry, plum and violet followed by aromas of blueberry, licorice, tobacco, cocoa, cinnamon, vanilla and menthol. The mouth has good correspondence to the nose, a slightly tannic attack and pleasing roundness, however balanced by alcohol, full body, intense flavors. The finish is persistent with flavors of black cherry, plum and blueberry. A well made wine. This Brunello di Montalcino ages for 36 months in cask and for 12 months in bottle.
