Reviewed February 2022The La Fortuna 2016 Brunello di Montalcino Riserva is a wine of pretty Sangiovese purity. This Riserva (with 9,000 bottles produced) shows a darkly saturated color with plump and intense aromas of wild cherry, crushed flowers, fresh plums, spice and ferrous earth. Balsam herb and rosemary-like aromas round off the finish. There is great freshness, some oak tannins, a drying finish and lots of rich fruit fiber. This is a terrific wine from La Fortuna (although I need to point out the high 15.5% alcohol). (ML)

James Suckling
The clarity of fruit and balance are impressive with black cherry and orange peel coming through in a subtle and focused way. It’s full-bodied and tight with pretty and well-crafted tannins and a citrus and sandalwood aftertaste.
