Beyond the label

The rolling hills of Montalcino are home to some of Italy’s finest reds. While a handful of top estates do grow a bit of Cabernet Sauvignon—to blend with Sangiovese for their Super Tuscan reds—very few make a 100% Cabernet. And you won’t find a better one (or bigger value) than Le Fughe.

It hails from Valeria Vittori’s celebrated Molino di Sant’Antimo estate, a stone’s throw from $200+ Poggio di Sotto. She calls it Le Fughe (‘the refuge’), after the old farmhouse that once overlooked her family’s prized Cabernet vines.

Le Fughe is a perennial, 90+ point favorite of Italian wine expert James Suckling, who raved about a previous edition: “a rich, juicy red with lots of blackberry, blackcurrant, chocolate and walnut character. It’s full and very dense. 91 points.” The 2021 release is equally delicious. While drinking beautifully now, it’ll really come into its own after a few more years in the bottle (2028 and beyond)—if you can stand to wait that long!

This Tuscan treasure is sourced from two special sites, perched at over 800 feet up, and is aged 18 luxurious months in fine oak. Aromas of black currant, cedar and violet unfurl in the glass. The palate is full bodied, with food-friendly tannins and flavors of ripe berries plus notes of chocolate and spice.
