La Fuga Brunello di Montalcino DOCG 2019 Toscane, Italië

La Fuga Brunello di Montalcino DOCG 2019 is een krachtige, klassieke Brunello van Tenuta La Fuga, het Montalcino domein van Ambrogio e Giovanni Folonari. De wijn komt uit wijngaarden ten zuidwesten van Montalcino, aan de historische kant van Camigliano, waar Sangiovese op ongeveer 350 m hoogte rijpt. De lange rijping in grote Slavonische eikenhouten vaten geeft deze Brunello zijn diepte, stevige structuur en lange bewaarpotentieel, terwijl jaargang 2019 uitblinkt in bessenfruit, sinaasappelschil, bloemen, ceder en verfijnde aardse tonen.

Wijngaarden en regio

La Fuga komt uit Brunello di Montalcino DOCG, een van de meest prestigieuze herkomsten voor Sangiovese in Toscane.

Ligging / Herkomst: De druiven komen van Tenuta La Fuga, ten zuidwesten van Montalcino, aan de historische kant van Camigliano. Deze ligging geeft de wijn een duidelijk Montalcino karakter, met rijp fruit, structuur en lange ontwikkeling.

Expositie: De wijngaarden hebben een zuidwestelijke ligging richting de Tyrreense Zee. Die expositie helpt de Sangiovese druiven volledig rijp te worden en draagt bij aan concentratie in de schil.

Hoogte: De wijngaarden liggen op ongeveer 350 m boven zeeniveau. Die hoogte helpt om rijpheid te combineren met frisheid, wat belangrijk is voor een Brunello met lange spanning.

Bodem: De bodem bestaat uit middelzware klei met veel skeletmateriaal. Dat stenige materiaal zorgt voor drainage en helpt de wijnstokken druiven met concentratie en stevige structuur te geven.

Wijngaard & Opbrengst: De wijngaarden zijn aangeplant met 5.000 stokken per hectare en leveren gemiddeld 4,5 ton druiven per hectare. Die lage opbrengst zorgt voor meer concentratie in het fruit.

Druivensamenstelling

Deze Brunello wordt volledig gemaakt van Sangiovese, de enige druif die voor Brunello di Montalcino DOCG is toegestaan.

100% Sangiovese – Brunello di Montalcino DOCG: Sangiovese geeft La Fuga zijn rode en donkere fruit, frisse zuren, stevige tannines en kruidige diepte. In Montalcino krijgt de druif extra kracht en bewaarpotentieel, waardoor Brunello zich jarenlang verder kan ontwikkelen.

Vinificatie en rijping

De vinificatie en rijping zijn klassiek voor een serieuze Brunello, met lange houtopvoeding in grote vaten.

Vergisting: De wijn vergist in roestvrijstalen tanks bij een gecontroleerde temperatuur van 28 °C, met ongeveer 4 weken schilcontact. Die lange maceratie haalt kleur, structuur en tannine uit de Sangiovese druiven.

Rijping / Houtopvoeding: La Fuga rijpt minimaal 36 maanden in grote Slavonische eikenhouten vaten. De cuvée wordt traditioneel opgevoed in 25 hl Slavonisch eiken, wat structuur en complexiteit toevoegt zonder het fruit te zwaar met hout te kleuren.

Flesrijping: Na de houtopvoeding rijpt de wijn verder op fles voordat hij wordt vrijgegeven. Die extra rust helpt de tannines te verfijnen en brengt de krachtige structuur beter samen.

Alcoholpercentage: Met 14,5% alcohol heeft deze Brunello voldoende kracht voor zijn geconcentreerde fruit, lange houtopvoeding en stevige tannines.

Bewaarpotentieel: La Fuga Brunello di Montalcino heeft een bewaarpotentieel tot 30 jaar. Dat past bij de combinatie van Sangiovese zuren, lage opbrengsten, tannines en lange rijping.

Proefnotities en serveertips

La Fuga Brunello di Montalcino 2019 opent met bessen, sinaasappelschil, bloemen, ceder, walnoot en natte bladeren. De smaak is vol en geconcentreerd, met stevige maar fluweelzachte tannines en een sappige textuur. De afdronk is lang, krachtig en harmonieus.

Serveertemperatuur: Serveer deze Brunello op 16–18 °C, zodat het rijpe fruit, de tannines en de aardse ontwikkeling mooi samenkomen.

Gerechten: Mooi bij wild, rood vlees, lamsvlees, stoofgerechten, harde gerijpte kazen en varkensvlees gevuld met eend en wilde venkel.

Bekroningen

95/100, Wine Enthusiast (2019): Superb en een grote prestatie, met waardering voor de warme, hartige neus, sinaasappelschil, zwarte kers, frisse citrus, stevige textuur en krachtige tannines.

94/100, James Suckling (2019): Een hoge beoordeling voor deze Brunello, passend bij de concentratie, rijpheid en lange structuur van jaargang 2019.

93/100, Falstaff (2019): Geprezen om rijpe wilde bessen, zwarte peper, marjolein, zoethout, vanille, sappigheid, spanning en een afdronk met hazelnoot.

3 sterren, Veronelli (2019): Een sterke Italiaanse waardering voor deze Brunello uit de historische Camigliano zijde van Montalcino.

4,2 sterren, Vivino: Een sterke gebruikersscore voor deze krachtige Brunello van Tenuta La Fuga.

Too firm throughout, but no support
Size: 57 Inch, Color: Light Yellow
I like the feel of the fabric but it's honestly not comfortable for me. The stuffing makes the pillow way too firm and I wake up with sore neck muscles. I do appreciate the body length, (I am 5'3) and it's comfortable for a little while, but not for the whole night. Especially because I have to get up multiple times to use the bathroom, and this pillow just gets in the way. I decided to just use three different pillows for my head, my legs and my arms/back at all different firmness so I get the support I need. If you are able to deal with the firmness of the pillow throughout, this might be a good option for you. I also ordered the cooling option and this does not help keep me cool at night. Even with the AC on and the fan running. It sleeps hot. I ended up storing it back in its vacuumed sealed bag and put it away.

Who Says Pregnancy Pillows Are Just for Pregnancy?
Size: 57 Inch, Color: Light Grey, Size: 57 Inch, Color: Light Grey
I bought this pregnancy pillow even though I’m not pregnant, and I have zero regrets! This thing is incredibly comfortable and provides support in all the right places. Whether I’m sleeping, reading, listening to an audiobook, or just relaxing in bed, it helps me get comfortable and stay comfortable. I love being able to hug one side while supporting my back with the other. It feels like being surrounded by pillows without having to constantly rearrange them throughout the night. The only downside is that it takes up a decent amount of bed space, but honestly, that’s a sacrifice I’m willing to make. My family may disagree. 😆 If you’re considering this pillow but aren’t pregnant, don’t let the name stop you. Comfort is for everyone!

Comfortable, firm, great for positional sleep therapy
Color: Cool Grey, Size: 24x24x12 inch
This is just what I needed to breathe better in my sleep, my doctor recommended a pillow like this for sleep apnea symptoms. I have an upcoming surgery too, so i'm glad I was able to test it out a week prior and see how it can help me prop up in bed. Feeling better about my upcoming recovery knowing i'll have this great pillow to support me!

Literally perfect and exactly what I needed!
Color: Cool Grey, Size: 24x24x12 inch
I can't recommend this enough! It was exactly what i was looking for! I have an annoying habit of researching everything for months before I purchase something that will get used this often. I finally decided on this one and I was very pleasantly surprised. I needed a wedge pillow to put at my back while sitting in bed. Mostly for when I'm working on my laptop. This one was the perfect height and perfect fit for me.I'm a female that is 5'4 and weigh about 117pds. I wanted something firm enough to support my back, and this most certainly does! It had a very pleasant appearance with the light gray sides. It has a removable cover I can take off and wash when needed. It's portable enough to move from room to room, also works great on my couch and it has amazing versatility. It can also be used as a pillow for someone that might need to sleep at a slight incline. It also works if you need to prop your legs up. It came vacuum packed. Once opened It said to let is sit for at least 24-48 hrs to give it time to properly inflate. For me, It plumped right up immediately! Again, from someone that does her research, if your looking for something like this at a reasonable price, this is it!

It was worth every cent
Color: Cool Grey, Size: 24x24x12 inch
I have BPPV. It's a condition where tiny ear crystals come out of place and move within your ear canals - this fools your brain into thinking you're in motion, causing severe dizziness. The most common treatment is the Epley Maneuver, and that actually helps a lot. However, I was going through a period where every single day I'd wake up with severe dizziness. Even if I managed to do the Epley Maneuver and it worked, the entire rest of the day would be ruined because I'd still feel generally unwell and nauseous. I ended up getting a book about BPPV and the author strongly recommended sleeping at at least a 30 degree angle. So, that's why I ended up buying this wedge pillow... I started using it April 26 and today is May 17. Since I began using it as a pillow, I have not woke up dizzy again. That is so huge! It may be that sleeping at a 30 degree angle deserves 5 Stars but thought I'd give this pillow 5 Stars too, as it's been a great experience. If you suffer from this, here's how the angle should be...If you lay your head on a pillow and open your eyes, you should not be looking at the ceiling. With the right angle, you should be looking at where the wall meets the ceiling. If so, you know you're at the right angle. As far as pillow itself, I'd say the pillow case fabric is of average quality. Not really remarkable in any way. It seems decent. Good value for the price. The inside is firm (which is just what I needed) but comfortable, and I tend to not move around much the entire night. I like this very much and if it does start wearing out, I'll definitely come back here and buy another. Would recommend.
