Tenuta La Fuga Brunello di Montalcino Riserva Le Due Sorelle 2018 Toscane, Italië

Tenuta La Fuga Brunello di Montalcino Riserva Le Due Sorelle 2018 is een krachtige Brunello Riserva van Sangiovese, afkomstig van Tenuta La Fuga ten zuidwesten van Montalcino. Deze wijn wordt alleen in de beste jaren gemaakt en is een eerbetoon aan Giovanna en Fabia Cornaro, de echtgenote en schoonzus van Ambrogio Folonari. De 2018 jaargang combineert rijp rood fruit, citrus, vanille, melkchocolade en fluweelzachte tannines met de diepte van minimaal 48 maanden rijping in grote eikenhouten vaten.

Wijngaarden en regio

Le Due Sorelle komt uit Brunello di Montalcino DOCG, een van de meest prestigieuze herkomsten voor Sangiovese in Toscane.

Ligging / Herkomst: De druiven komen uit de wijngaarden van Tenuta La Fuga, ten zuidwesten van Montalcino, op de historische helling van Camigliano. Deze plek geeft de wijn zijn duidelijke Montalcino karakter, met rijpheid, structuur en bewaarkracht.

Hoogte: De wijngaarden liggen rond 350 m boven zeeniveau. Die hoogte helpt om zonrijp fruit te combineren met frisse spanning, wat belangrijk is voor een Brunello Riserva met lange levensduur.

Bodem: De bodem bestaat uit middelzware klei met veel skeletmateriaal. Deze stenige structuur ondersteunt drainage en helpt Sangiovese aan concentratie, tannine en diepte.

Wijngaardbeheer: De wijnstokken zijn aangeplant met 5.000 planten per hectare en worden geleid volgens het lage cordon snoeisysteem. Die combinatie helpt om de groei te beheersen en druiven met voldoende concentratie te krijgen.

Druivensamenstelling

Deze Brunello Riserva wordt volledig gemaakt van Sangiovese.

Sangiovese – Brunello di Montalcino Riserva DOCG: Sangiovese geeft Le Due Sorelle zijn rode fruit, frisse zuren, kruidigheid en stevige tanninestructuur. In Montalcino krijgt deze druif extra kracht en bewaarpotentieel, waardoor de wijn zich jarenlang verder kan ontwikkelen.

Vinificatie en rijping

De vinificatie is klassiek voor een serieuze Brunello Riserva, met lange rijping op groot hout.

Vergisting: De wijn vergist in roestvrijstalen tanks en krijgt ongeveer 4 weken schilcontact. Die lange maceratie haalt kleur, structuur en tannine uit de Sangiovese druiven.

Rijping / Houtopvoeding: De wijn rijpt minimaal 48 maanden in grote eikenhouten vaten en verfijnt daarna verder op fles. Wat betekent Riserva bij Brunello? Riserva betekent dat de wijn langer rijpt voordat hij wordt vrijgegeven, met minimaal 6 maanden flesrijping en marktintroductie vanaf het 6e jaar na de oogst.

Alcoholpercentage: Met 15,5% alcohol heeft deze Brunello Riserva veel kracht voor zijn geconcentreerde fruit, lange houtopvoeding en volle structuur.

Bewaarpotentieel: Le Due Sorelle heeft een bewaarpotentieel van meer dan 30 jaar. De combinatie van Sangiovese zuren, tannines, houtopvoeding en concentratie geeft de wijn een indrukwekkende basis voor lange ontwikkeling.

Proefnotities en serveertips

Le Due Sorelle 2018 heeft een robijnrode kleur met goudachtige reflecties. De geur combineert citroen, grapefruit, mandarijn, vanille en melkchocolade met rijp rood fruit en geroosterde tonen. De smaak is vol, krachtig en lang, met fluweelzachte tannines, sappige spanning en een hartige finale.

Serveertemperatuur: Serveer deze Brunello Riserva op 18–20 °C, zodat de volle structuur, rijpe fruittonen en fluweelzachte tannines mooi samenkomen.

Gerechten: Mooi bij wild, geroosterd rundvlees, lamsvlees, stoofgerechten, gerechten met truffel, paddenstoelen en harde gerijpte kazen.

Bekroningen

94/100, Wine Enthusiast (2018): Superb en een grote prestatie, met waardering voor hartige umami tonen van teer, steen, leer, zwarte olijf, rijpe zwarte kers, pruim, melkchocolade en een rokerige finale.

94/100, Falstaff (2018): Geprezen om zijn helder robijnrode kleur, melkachtige koffietonen, geroosterde aroma’s, rijp rood fruit, sappige smaak, goede grip, lichte ziltigheid en hartige afdronk.

4,4 sterren, Vivino: Een zeer sterke gebruikersscore voor deze Brunello di Montalcino Riserva van Tenuta La Fuga.

many feelings
Format: Kindle
I didn’t know what this book was about when I first started reading.. one thing I felt at the beginning was…amazement? I love writing letters, something I don’t do often, I recently bought this beautiful fountain pen, I wanted to start small, writing greeting cards to family and friends, birthday cards, thank yous, etc. what I didn’t expect is the emotional toll this book had on me, and other members of my family who read the book for our book club. The subject matters, death of a child, husband dying of cancer, the significance of May 29th, all impacted our family, and so, as I read this book, I had to put it down several times because I had to cry, compose myself, think of regrets I have, and remember. How amazing it is that Sybil was able to write all about the death of her child to her dead child. I always say that writing it down on paper releases your burden in your head…it is true, I think writing letters, even the ones she didn’t send helped her quiet her head, at least for a while. I truly love this book. I have been borrowing books from Libby to read for our book club for a very long time, there have been books that I fell in love with, and always thought if I want to read them again I’ll just borrow them again, this book is the first one that I want to own physically to put on my shelf and know that I have it to read over and over again when I want to reflect and then quiet my head. ( This is the longest review I’ve written about a book I’ve read, I hope it makes sense).

Successful Epistolary Novel
Format: Kindle
When we first meet Sybil Van Antwerp, age 73, she is retired from law and spends a lot of time writing letters and emails. She also reads a lot and is interested in what her correspondents are reading. She has children and grandchildren, but she lives alone in Annapolis, Maryland, and doesn’t see her family very often. During the course of reading her correspondence, we very gradually learn about Sybil—her history and her present troubles. She is a complicated character and several times in reading The Correspondent I paused to ask myself what I thought of Sybil—did I like her? What about her kept me from the immediate response a reader usually has about the main character of a book? Even at the end of the book, I am still ambivalent about Sybil, but I certainly understand her much better. Sybil, herself, and the book have so many layers. There is true depth to the story. My book club took deep dives into it over a period of three weeks, and I don’t think we have sampled all the topics represented in this book. It is a wonderful novel for stimulating meaningful discussion. Neurodivergence is not called out or named, but it comes to mind in thinking about Harry, a child who is the son of a judge, a former colleague of Sybil. The boy doesn’t quite fit in socially with his peers, but he is brilliant. Sybil makes the perfect “pen pal” for Harry because they have some of the same characteristics. As a child she was punished for “insolence and rudeness,” but her parents were just trying to mold her into a polite young lady as expected by society. She was blunt and didn’t have many friends. There are so many other issues worthy of discussion, but they would most certainly bring up spoilers. I won’t do that to you. Readers should have the opportunity to see the story gradually emerge from the letters, including a continuing one that the reader doesn’t know to whom Sybil is writing. Sybil sets the word “stone” for secrets, and there are stones in this book making it a puzzle, a mystery of sorts—for the reader. As a reviewer, I tend to go quickly from one book to the next as soon as I have composed and published my thoughts. Characters in various books can even blend together. This is not the case with The Correspondent. The characters in this book, especially Sybil, have stayed with me and come to mind frequently as I go through my day. Virginia Evans has created a fictional world with impact. Just as Sybil needed time (years in her case) to process the events of her life, the reader will need time to process them and their effects on Sybil as well.
