Brunello di Montalcino Fuligni is aged for four years according to traditional regulation, with two and a half to three years spent in wood. The result is an elegant expression where ripe fruit harmonizes beautifully with layers of spice, a wine born from meticulous selection of the estate's most prestigious vineyard sites. The Fuligni family maintains deliberately low yields per hectare, prioritizing quality and concentration in every bottle. In vintages that fail to meet the estate's exacting standards, no Brunello is produced, a testament to their unwavering commitment to excellence and the integrity of the Fuligni name.
A bright red color with orange highlights, the 2020 Brunello Di Montalcino is very pretty, with a delicate rustic hint that I find quite attractive. It reveals attractive red fruit on the nose, with notes of cranberries, wild herbs, and just a subtle hint of saddle leather and blood orange. Mid-weight, it's light on its feet while delivering wonderful energy and freshness, with snappy ripe red fruit, a refreshing, angular feel, and mouthwatering saline and acidity. This is certainly one of the highlights of the 2020 vintage. Drink 2025-2040.
