Occasional wine note

This is another fantastic Brunello from Fuligni. So full of ripe cherries, interwoven with tomato, herbs, and a bit of mineral. The tannins are definitely present but so well integrated with all that's going on with this wine. Delicious!

What experts say about this wine

100

Wine Spectator

This is bright, juicy and packed with cherry, strawberry, floral and mineral aromas and flavors. Linear in shape and tightly wound, yet very pure, with a long, detailed aftertaste that pulls all the elements together. Best from 2021 through 2040. From Italy.

James Suckling

Ripe, savory and richly flavorful with plenty of sun-dried tomatoes, tapenade, ripe cherries and walnuts. Full-bodied with round, ripe tannins. Salty freshness at the end. Long and delicious. Excellent energy for the vintage.
