Description
A still red from the heart of Tuscany, a Brunello di Montalcino DOCG, 14.5% ABV, produced by Fuligni. Vintage 2020, 0.75L bottle. A wine that embodies the history of a family, the Fulignis, who have been producing excellent wines since 1923. Aged for 36 months in 20-hectoliter Slavonian oak barrels, it introduces elegant aromas of peony, blueberry, Mediterranean scrub, licorice, and juniper berries. A bright and inviting ruby red color. On the palate, it offers warm sensations, balanced and caressing thanks to integrated and lively tannins, with a medium-long finish featuring fruity and cinchona notes.

Giovanni Maria Fuligni settled in Montalcino at the beginning of 1900 and started to produce wine just as his family had previously done predominantly in the area around Scansano in the Maremma.
The Fuligni Estate in Montalcino, directed by Maria Flora Fuligni consists of approximately 100 hectares of land at varying exposures to the sun. The vines, which extend over about ten hectares, are situated on the eastern part of the hill, a traditional area for Brunello.
The cellars are located at Cottimelli (about three kilometers from Montalcino in the direction of Siena) in an original 18th century residence once the home of Medicean Grand Dukes. Wine tastings are also held on the premises in recently restored rooms which used to accommodate a small monastery of monks in the 16th century. Read more
