Critic tasting note: "Truffle, chopped mint, woodland berry and eucalyptus aromas unfold in the glass. Bright and juicy, the palate evokes succulent red berries, star anise, clove and tobacco, set against a backdrop of firm, polished tannins. Fresh acidity lends balance. Drink 2019–2027." - 92/100, Wine Enthusiast

Tenuta La Fuga
Details
- Region or Appellation
- Producer Notes
- Brunello la Fuga perfectly represents the territory where it is born. In fact, the southwest exposure towards the Tyrrhenian Sea and the soils rich in sediments of the historic area of Camigliano enrich the Sangiovese grapes of Tenuta la Fuga with polyphenols, content of which increases thanks to the long aging in 25hl oak barrels. Its tasting shows a fascinating and engaging character as only Brunello can reveal.

Vintage quality: Good
Current condition: Ready to drink
The 2012 vintage for Tuscany was difficult at times and as a result, quality was mixed.
The winter was cold and moved into a mostly wet spring, although there were warm, dry moments. The wet conditions did little to alleviate soils bereft of water content from the previo...
