About La Fuga Rosso di Montalcino
- Style
- Red
- Grape Varieties
- Sangiovese
- Price Range
- $20-28
The younger, more immediate sibling to La Fuga's Brunello, made from Sangiovese grown on a single hectare of the estate's youngest vineyard parcel. Given a shorter aging period in seasoned oak barrels, it shows a generous, fruity and floral character with spiced and wooden notes.
Montalcino's everyday face — spiced, floral and fruity, with none of the tannic weight of its Brunello sibling.
