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.
Vinous: 93+ Points
The 2019 Brunello di Montalcino Fiore di NO opens with a rich blend of plum and cherry sauce, grilled herbs and cocoa. This displays velvety textures while maintaining a lovely freshness within. A wave of ripe red and black fruits flows across the palate, giving way to a staining of saline minerals. A bump of residual acidity keeps the mouth watering, even as grippy tannins penetrate deeply, leaving hints of dark, dark chocolate and cloves to fade slowly. The Fiore di NO is a large-scale and powerful Brunello, yet it maintains a fantastic balance.
