Fattoria La Fiorita Description
From its foundation in the early nineties, the La Fiorita Estate has always sought to perfect the longevity and aromatic complexity of its Brunello to illustrate the magical harmony between the diverse terroirs, climate and Sangiovese grape - the Star of Montalcino.
Parallel to the organization of the vineyard, in early 2018 owner, Natalie Oliveros, started the construction of a new winemaking and cellaring facility which stands on the original site of the La Fiorita Estate. This two-level gravity-fed Cantina – aesthetically designed – was completed in time for the 2019 harvest welcoming all four vineyards. This was the only way to preserve the authentic expression of each soil independently from the others. Once the wines have aged the proper time in large barrels, they are selected to bring the right harmony into the blends of the La Fiorita Brunello. This new era is now cementing the deep foundation for an exciting future and generations to come.
Wine Advocate: 93 Points
With cherrywood or cedar, the 2019 Brunello di Montalcino has a savory, almost spicy side that follows garden herb, cola, dark cherry, plum and sweet cherry. The fruit is slightly baked or cooked with hints of road paving or smoky tar. This is a concentrated wine for sure, with fruit sourced from three sites: Collesorbo, Pian Bossolino and Giardinello.
Drying tannins want a steak and polenta dinner.
Vinous: 92 Points
The 2019 Brunello di Montalcino pulls the taster down to earth with a dusty blend of flowery underbrush and crushed wild berries lifted by camphor hints. It's silky and round with sweet spice and plush red and blue fruits that flow across a stream of vibrant acidity. A web of fine tannins tugs at the palate as the 2019 tapers off with a licorice tinge and a orange concentration that curls the tongue. The 2019 turns the pleasure dial to the max yet remains painfully young.
