The wine comes from vineyards southwest of Montalcino, on the historic side of Camigliano, where Sangiovese ripens at an altitude of about 350 m. The long maturation in large Slavonian oak barrels gives this Brunello its depth, firm structure, and long aging potential, while the 2019 vintage excels in berry fruit, orange peel, flowers, cedar, and refined earthy notes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 data-section-id=\"14jexaw\" data-start=\"606\" data-end=\"629\"\u003eVineyards and region\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"631\" data-end=\"745\"\u003eLa Fuga comes from Brunello di Montalcino DOCG, one of the most prestigious appellations for Sangiovese in Tuscany.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"747\" data-end=\"991\"\u003e• \u003cstrong data-start=\"749\" data-end=\"772\"\u003eLocation \/ Origin:\u003c\/strong\u003e The grapes come from Tenuta La Fuga, southwest of Montalcino, on the historic side of Camigliano.
