96 Points, James Suckling
Plenty of complexity to this, with cherry, plum, blackberry and hints of cedar and stone. Full-bodied with layered, velvety tannins and a flavorful finish. Punctuated and defined for the 2017 vintage. Drinkable now, but better after 2023. 9
95 Points, Parker’s Wine Advocate
The Fuligni 2017 Brunello di Montalcino is a beautiful wine, and it shines a much-deserved spotlight on one of the most consistent estates in Montalcino. It is bright and luminous with a dark ruby shine. The bouquet reveals deeply layered tones of red cherry, wild berry, rose, earth and candied violets. Give the wine an extra twirl or two, and you get some rosemary and lavender. Soft dusty mineral and limestone also appear. I’d definitely put this bottle on a short list of the most recommended bottles from the 2017 vintage.
Fuligni is one of the best producers of wine in Italy, let alone Brunello di Montalcino. In the ‘Grand cru’ part of Brunello as Ian D’Agata calls it, Fuligni’s execution of top-tier Sangiovese winemaking is consistently elite. As with the strict Brunello guidelines, their Sangiovese is aged for four years, of which approximately two and a half are in wood.
With its elegant combination of fruit and spicy aromas, the Fuligni Brunello is, in any case, the result of carefully selected grapes coming from low yields per hectare and is not produced in years when the quality of the harvested grapes is not suitable to maintain the high standards of the estate. For this reason, every bottling you see is fantastic.
