Fuligni smager fortryllende i årgang 2020.
Fuligni er blandt de absolutte referenceproducenter i Montalcino, og deres 2020 Brunello di Montalcino bekræfter endnu en gang husets ry for kompromisløs kvalitet. Vinen er skabt på 100% Sangiovese Grosso, høstet fra husets ældste og højest beliggende marker i den østlige del af Montalcino, hvor den kølige brise og kalkrige jordbund sikrer friskhed og finesse.
Efter en traditionel vinifikation har vinen lagret i store slavonske egefade i 30-36 måneder, hvilket giver en nuanceret vin, hvor frugtens renhed og terroirets udtryk står i centrum. Med en alkoholprocent på ca. 14,5% balancerer den elegant mellem kraft og struktur.
I glasset fremstår vinen rubinrød med levende reflekser. Duften byder på klassiske Sangiovese-toner af modne kirsebær, røde bær, viol, tørrede urter og fine krydderier. Smagen er intens og harmonisk med rank syre, faste men modne tanniner og en lang, elegant eftersmag, hvor mineralitet og friskhed giver løfte om et stort lagringspotentiale på mindst 15-20 år.
Årgang 2020 er præget af varme, men Fuligni har formået at frembringe en vin, der kombinerer dybde og kraft med præcision og finesse – en klassisk Brunello i moderne topform. Perfekt til rødt kød, vildt, svamperetter og lagrede oste.
Falstaff Magazin - 97
Bright ruby red. Elegantly fragrant nose, inviting, with cherry cordial, malt, precious wood, subtle hints of cold smoke and dried rose petal. Very juicy and clear on the palate, with a polished, elegant finish. Wit a fine salty undertone, it has light mint aromas. Long, vibrant, fine.
Decanter - 96
Immense, sober and timeless elegance to indulge in little by little. The rigorous, territorial, aromatic framework leaves room for a well-balanced gustative texture between mature tannins and balsamic freshness. The 380-450m-high vineyards extend over about 15ha, mainly around the winery's nucleus, on the north-eastern slope of the Montalcino hillside.
Vinous - 95
Rich and exuberant in the glass, the 2020 Brunello di Montalcino bursts with autumnal spices, crushed raspberries, shaved cedar and dusty rose. It impresses further with a core of ripe red berry fruits that saturate deeply, displaying a pleasant inner sweetness offset by a salty core of minerality. The 2020 leaves the palate drenched in primary concentration with a tart cranberry, licorice resonance and grippy tannins, all while maintaining a remarkably fresh persona. The 2020 has a large-scale feel with expertly maintained balance.
James Suckling - 95
Smoky woodland, dried flowers and earthy notes, then cherries and red berries. Full of licorice root, too. The layered fruit profile follows through to a medium-bodied palate with additional, toasty flavors. The firm, velvety tannins show a slightly austere grain on the finish, yet balanced by the fruit and acidity. A powerful wine with lots of character. Try from 2026.
Robert Parker - 94+
Here is another very elegant expression from a sunny vintage that successfully hones in on a bright, fruit-forward drinking style. The Fuligni 2020 Brunello di Montalcino shows dark fruit aromas, spruce pine cone, wildflowers and light spice. It wraps smoothly over the palate with an elegant, mid-weight texture.
Wine Spectator - 93
A core of cherry and plum leads off, accented with vanilla, earth, eucalyptus and iron notes. Muscular, with an expansive finish accentuating the tannins. Enjoy this on the earlier side. Best from 2027 through 2038.
