La Fortuna Brunello di Montalcino Giobi 2012  - First Bottle

Reviews

93 James Suckling -
Some ash and spice undertones to the cherry and berry aromas. Medium to full body, silky tannins and a flavorful finish. Linear and focused. Better in 2020.
92 Vinous -
Dark red. Herb-accented cherry and blackberry on the nose. Then riper in the mouth, with the flavors of candied blackberry and licorice nicely framed by supple tannins. Doesn`t strike me as being more complex or deeper than the classic Brunello, but has greater finishing cling and ought to prove more ageworthy.

You've NEVER experienced a Brunello like this. Personally, we'd rate it more like 96 points -- it's fantastic. Aged a bit longer, this wine is a tribute to Dad (Giobi) and a rich, luxurious example of Brunello from a terrific vintage. Ageworthy and collector worthy stuff right here at the price you'll see.

About the Producer

La Fortuna began in 1907, with Angiolino Zannoni, Gioberto's great grandfather, growing seed crops and raising livestock. His son Gino followed suit, taking over in the 1950s at a time when the economic landscape was changing dramatically people were fleeing the land in droves to take manufacturing jobs in the cities. Gino knew he wanted none of that, and so he bought the land his family was farming from the landlord. The entire estate is centered around their centuries old Tuscan farmhouse, where the family has lived for over a century. Around 20 acres of vines are planted between two vineyard sites, one near Fulginiae and the other in the south near Castelnuovo dell'Abate. The northern site is a bit cooler, while the southern vineyards are warmer and each year they blend fruit from both locations.
