Brunello di Montalcino Riserva La Fortuna 2016

From the historic La Fortuna winery, a family-run business that has been producing wines in Montalcino for generations, this 2016 Brunello di Montalcino Riserva is an extraordinary expression of power, elegance, and longevity. Renowned for its traditional style and meticulous attention to terroir, the winery has masterfully interpreted an exceptional vintage, considered one of the best of the decade and perfect for producing a Riserva.

Made from pure Sangiovese Grosso grapes and with an alcohol content of 14.5%, the wine has been aged for over 60 months in large oak barrels. On the nose, it presents a complex and layered bouquet of ripe cherry, plum, tobacco, leather, sweet spices, and a balsamic touch. On the palate, it is structured and enveloping, with dense yet silky tannins and a pleasant freshness that ensures a long evolution over time. The finish is persistent and leaves an impression of great harmony and depth. It pairs magnificently with rich red meat dishes, game, and mature cheeses.
