Tenuta La Fuga 2006 Le Due Sorelle Riserva Sangiovese Grosso (Brunello di Montalcino)

Cellar Selection
Online Exclusive

Price $75

This riserva shows gorgeous intensity and a beautiful, dense texture. There’s just enough softness to cushion the naturally high acidity of 2006. It’s firm, silky, rich, powerful and super long. In fact, the extraordinary length is what sets this wine apart. Age 10–15 years. — M.L. (5/1/2012)

Tenuta La Fuga 1997 Sangiovese (Brunello di Montalcino)

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. — R.V. (8/1/2002)

Tenuta La Fuga 2001 Sangiovese (Brunello di Montalcino)

Cellar Selection

Price $65

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. — W.E. (4/1/2006)

points

Tenuta La Fuga 2003 Sangiovese Grosso (Brunello di Montalcino)

Online Exclusive

Price $60

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. — M.L. (5/1/2009)
