This wine comes from the branch of the Folonari family that moved out of Ruffino after a recent re-organization of the company. It is a nicely understated wine, showing great style, with new wood and dusty tannin flavors combining with smooth, modern fruit. The acidity is just too dominant at the end, but otherwise a delicate, elegant performance.

Raspberry aromas are a bit earthy and muddled. The palate is on the heavy side, fully laced with a strawberry lollipop flavor. A light, creamy, oaky finish seals the deal.

Jammy, mature notes of dark cherry and blackberry preserves open the nose of this richly opulent Brunello. Background tones include polished mineral and sweet Christmas spice with lingering accents of black pepper and crushed clove.

Rich and plump with marzipan, cherry-berry, menthol, violet and medicinal notes. Some sweaty, band-aid like notes add complexity. A bit austere and stern in the mouth thanks to drying tannins, but would show well over the course of a long satisfying meal. Imported by Kobrand.

This is a bright and generous Brunello that will appeal to those who prefer succulent and meaty characteristics in their wines. There are notes here of red cherry, wet earth, toasted wood, black plum and even some green spice. The concentration is thick and dense. Sweet, chewy tannins appear on the finish.

Here’s a dark, well-concentrated Brunello Riserva with notes of spice, chocolate, cola and dark cherry. There’s great plumpness and succulence here with a smooth, round feel in the mouth. Pair this beautiful wine with important meat dishes or wild mushrooms: Drink after 2015.

One thing we’ve discovered about Tenuta La Fuga is that it performs evenly, year after year, despite climatic variations and extremes. That’s a telltale sign of good winemaking and this Brunello delivers a sure bet to consumers thanks to its soft, supple mouthfeel and lingering aromas of succulent cherry and spice.

This is a gorgeous Brunello that proudly defies the difficulties associated with this hot vintage. The wine exhibits freshness and buoyancy in the form of crisp cherry and blueberry. It also offers deep layers of cola, coffee and mineral and although the mouthfeel is chewy, there’s enough silky softness to even it out.
