La Fuga Rosso di Montalcino

Ambrogio e Giovanni Folonari Tenute

Sangiovese

About this wine

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.

Beginner's Note

An easy-drinking, fruit-forward Sangiovese that's a gentle, affordable way to explore the Montalcino style.

Sommelier's Note

"Montalcino's everyday face — spiced, floral and fruity, with none of the tannic weight of its Brunello sibling."

Food Pairings

Pasta with meat ragu, grilled sausages, and simple roasted poultry.

When to drink it

Weeknight dinners, casual pasta nights, everyday drinking.
