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.
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
