Tenuta La Fuga’s 2020 Brunello di Montalcino is a 100% Sangiovese from the Camigliano area on Montalcino’s warmer southwestern slopes. La Fuga is the smallest estate in the Ambrogio e Giovanni Folonari portfolio, and the wine is made in a traditional Brunello framework, spending roughly four years in large 25-hectoliter Slavonian oak casks followed by bottle aging. Alcohol is listed at 13.5%, with pH around 3.5 and total acidity about 6.1 g/L—figures that help explain the wine’s tension and lift in a warm, dry 2020 season moderated by timely rains.

Critically, this is a well-reviewed, modern-leaning Brunello that still aims for freshness. The standout appraisal comes from Wine Enthusiast, which awarded an excellent 94 points and emphasizes savory complexity and energy: “an earthy salinity” on the nose with “top soil, herbs, bergamot, blackberry and pepper,” followed by “a bright, crunchy mix of tart and sweet cherries and blackberries” carried by “chalky tannins and lively acid” (Danielle Callegari, Wine Enthusiast).

Vinous also rates it highly at 92 points, with Eric Guido calling it “dark and brooding,” layering “ashen stones and grilled herbs” over “dried black cherries and ground cloves,” then turning to “masses of ripe red and black fruits” on a “soft, generous, energetic” palate before finishing “spry and lively.”

Other reviews cluster around 90–91 points, noting both appeal and stylistic choices. James Suckling points to “almost cooked cherries, crushed violets and a touch of citrus,” with a “firm” attack and “chalky tannins.” Decanter describes “violet-infused black fruits, with wood and balsamic herbs,” calling it “deep” and “internationally-styled… allied to lovely freshness and balance,” while noting it “just lacks Sangiovese typicity.” Jeb Dunnuck highlights mossy earth, strawberry, and orange peel, plus “fine, dusty tannins and a salty finish,” recommending drinking “over the coming 8–10 years.”
