Token from our visit to Bellagio in 2022. Let decant for a bit. Very pleasant Amarone — 7 months ago
Popped and poured; enjoyed over two days. Best on Day 2. The 2019 La Fortuna, Rosso di Montalcino pours a deep garnet color with a transparent core. Medium+ viscosity with no staining of the tears. No signs of sediment or gas. On the nose, ripe Morello cherry, bergamot, dried green herbs, fresh mint (that has gone too long, iykyk), mixed flowers, soft baking spices, dried earth. On the palate, the wine is dry. Medium+ tannin and Medium+ acid. Confirming the notes on the nose. The finish is medium+ and earthy. Seemingly a touch young, this will be better after 2024 and drink well through 2029. Already a more than good pairing with Melanzane Parmigiano. — 10 months ago

Senses immediately overloaded, in a good way, with a bouquet of lavender tea, smoked cherrywood, tobacco, cedar, vanilla, and as someone here astutely observed, Alpine herbs. Buried underneath that is wild mushroom, wild raspberries, and cherries. Lasting nice finish, though a bit heavy on the alcohol compared to its southern nebbiolo cousins, but given the sforzato Amarone-like production process, this makes senses. One of the finest reds I've had in some time, certainly on par or better than the other nebbiolo I've tasted.
Better yet, I scored this for a steal of a price at a local Total Wine who either thought this was too old or didn't know what they had. — 18 days ago
