The Brunello di Montalcino Riserva DOCG Le Due Sorelle 2018 from Tenuta la Fuga (Folonari) presents itself as a wine of classic character, offered in a wooden case that highlights its appeal as a collectible. In the glass it shows an intense colour; on the nose there are notes of ripe red fruit, restrained spice accents and earthier nuances that integrate in a measured way. On the palate the structure is compact and the acidity supports the body, with tannins present but well balanced; the finish is pleasant, leaving an aromatic return consistent with the initial aromas.

It pairs well with red meat dishes, braises and aged cheeses, and also stands up to mushroom-based preparations or richer sauces. It is advisable to open the bottle in advance to allow the wine to open up, and to serve it not too cold to showcase its aromas and tannic texture. The wooden case makes it suitable for occasions when a wine to cellar or to gift is desired.
