La Fortuna's 2015 Brunello di Montalcino draws its fruit primarily from the estate's 13-hectare plot near the winery with clay galestro and rocky tufo soils. The wine opens to a dark ruby color with pretty intensity on the bouquet. It offers cherry and plum, with spice, toasted almond and cola. That beautiful feeling of intensity continues to the palate, where the wine is vivid, bright and full of energy. The zesty acidity awakens your senses and would pair nicely with a creamy mushroom risotto. Production is 33,000 bottles.

This is round and full of sweet, ripe cherry, strawberry, graphite and earth flavors. Firms up as the finish plays out, echoing an essence of fruit. Best from 2022 through 2039. 2,200 cases made, 1,300 cases imported.??–BS??Region: Italy / Brunello di Montalcino Select to Add
