E. Fuligni (Cottimelli)
Fuligni Brunello di Montalcino Sangiovese
Montalcino, Siena, Tuscany, Italy
Earthy, complex, structured and floral with intense aromas of violets, dried red roses and tobacco, bright acidity and structured tannins on the palate with notes of wild strawberries and red cherries and hints of savory herbs.

The vintage is alluring, and the taste profile a great mix of black berry and plum notes along with some rustic nature. Tannins are present yet soft. We waited an hour after decanting.

My first exposure to this producer. Definitely aromatic, and a ton of savory notes of underbrush and mineral in addition to the wild dark red fruit. Not the longest finish, but finessed and balanced in a medium-bodied BdM.

May 2nd, 2020Quite tart in relation to fruit. Medium body and medium plus acidity. Not my style of Brunello, although stunning tipica on the nose.

Nov 3rd, 2018Nose of clay, violet, and cherry. Heavily tannic to what I expect from Brunello, but not at all overpowering, nice acidity, and bright red fruit with hints of darker fruit.

Came abut short, and was an disappointment compared to the Rosso from the same vineyards. But a full bodied wine which was very good.
