Tasting Notes: Brunello in a fantastic vintage, from the same family that has crafted the wine since 1907! La Fortuna is one of the oldest wineries in Montalcino, and has always been managed by the Zanoni family, first as farmers and later as landowners, since 1907. Since its first vintage in 1974, Gioberto and Gino Zanoni strive to produce quality wine utilizing the traditional method of their great-grandfather.
The 2006 has quickly become a sought-after vintage due to early barrel reviews raving about the authentic quality and expression of Sangiovese Grosso. Critics believe this vintage shows balanced acidity, tight tannins and incredible aromas that will age beautifully in the cellar.La Fortuna Brunello 2006 shines in their reviews:
