Azienda Agricola La Fortuna is a wine producer situated in Tuscany's prestigious Montalcino region. The estate primarily focuses on the cultivation of the Sangiovese grape variety, with the majority of its production centered on Brunello di Montalcino and Rosso di Montalcino wines. The estate is owned and run by the Zannoni family, who initially established a farmstead on the land in 1907. Today, La Fortuna encompasses 82 acres of land. The Brunello di Montalcino Riserva is only produced in the best vintage years from Sangiovese grapes harvested from 20- to 25-year-old vines. The grapes spend 24 days macerating on their skins and the wine ages for 12 months in French oak and 24 months in Slavonian oak. It is then aged for an additional year in a bottle before it is released to the market. In a typical year, La Fortuna will produce approximately 30,000 bottles of Brunello di Montalcino, 20,000 bottles of Rosso di Montalcino.
