Brunello di Montalcino La Fortuna 2005

From the historic La Fortuna winery, a family-run business that has been producing wines in Montalcino for generations, this 2005 Brunello is a fascinating expression of Sangiovese Grosso's ability to evolve over time. The 2005 vintage, while not among the most celebrated, produced wines of great finesse and elegance, which, nearly twenty years after the harvest, have reached full expressive maturity.

With an alcohol content of 14%, the wine has been aged for approximately 36 months in large oak barrels. On the nose, it presents a complex and layered bouquet, giving way to tertiary notes of dried red fruit, leather, tobacco, underbrush, and spices. On the palate, it is structured yet incredibly soft and silky, with perfectly integrated tannins and a pleasant freshness that balances its complexity. The finish is persistent and leaves an impression of great harmony and depth. It pairs magnificently with rich red meat dishes, game, and aged cheeses.
