La Fuga is a Brunello di Montalcino DOCG produced in the estate of the same name in the municipality of Montalcino, acquired by the Folonari family in 2001. The estate covers 9.8 hectares of vineyards at an altitude of about 350 metres above sea level, on medium-textured clayey soils rich in skeleton. As required by the regulations, La Fuga is also made from 100% Sangiovese grapes. High-quality grapes are selected from vineyards with a planting density of 5,000 vines per hectare and trained using the low spurred cordon method. Vinification takes place in steel tanks, with maceration lasting around 4 weeks. After racking, the wine is aged for at least 36 months in large 25-hectolitre oak barrels, followed by at least 6 months of bottle ageing. In the glass, La Fuga has a beautiful ruby red colour with garnet reflections. The nose immediately reveals hints of wild berries, orange peel, flowers, cedar, walnut and wet leaves. On the palate, it is full-bodied, with firm, velvety tannins, a juicy texture and a long finish. Over time, this wine has received high scores from international critics, including 95 points from Wine Enthusiast and 94 points from James Suckling. Thanks to its structure and pleasant balance between acidity and tannins, La Fuga has a truly impressive ageing potential. The best vintages can even reach 30 years of age, developing complexity and depth over time. In the kitchen of Villa di Nozzole, it is recommended with duck-stuffed pork and wild fennel seeds.
