Topvinen fra Fuligni i topårgangen 2019.
Når Fuligni sætter navnet Riserva på en Brunello, er det kun i de absolut bedste årgange, hvor druernes kvalitet og kompleksitet er helt i særklasse. 2019 hører til blandt de mest lovende årgange i nyere tid, og Fuligni har skabt en vin, der allerede nu hyldes som en kommende klassiker.
Vinen er fremstillet på 100% Sangiovese Grosso fra husets ældste parceller i den østlige del af Montalcino. Efter en omhyggelig vinifikation har vinen lagret i store slavonske egefade i over 48 måneder, inden den er yderligere modnet på flaske. Resultatet er en vin med stor dybde, rank struktur og et imponerende lagringspotentiale, der nemt strækker sig over 25-30 år.
I glasset fremstår vinen rubinrød med granatrøde nuancer. Duften er intens og kompleks med lag af modne kirsebær, violer, skovbund, tobaksblade og subtile krydderier fra fadet. Smagen er rig og koncentreret med silkebløde, men markante tanniner, livlig syre og en nærmest uendelig eftersmag, hvor elegance og kraft smelter sammen i perfekt balance.
Riserva 2019 er indbegrebet af, hvad stor Brunello kan være – majestætisk, raffineret og med en næsten aristokratisk karakter. En vin til de største stunder, ideel til kraftige kødretter, vildt eller ganske enkelt til kælderens mest prestigefyldte plads.

Produced only in vintages with ideal ripeness and substantial acid backbone to guarantee longevity, Fuligni’s Riserva aspires to express the characteristics of a vintage to their fullest. With simmering fragrance, regal structure and inner brightness to illuminate the wine’s profound depths, the 2019 edition definitely succeeds. Intense cherry, orange zest, heady truffle and forest roots take hold on the nose. The fruit is pristine and even sleek and curvaceous but the tannins have a countering bite. Tangy pomegranate rings out from the core of this elegantly weighted gem; everything is neatly in place and unfolding at a tastefully measured gait.

Bright ruby red. Very savoury on the nose, with notes of fresh mint, cold smoke, oak, cranberries and cherries, then hints of cigar box and cinnamon stick. Tightly woven tannins, taut acidity and vertical fruit on the palate, iron-rich, firm and hearty right through to the finish.
James Suckling - 97
Dried-berry, orange-peel and flower aromas follow through to a medium body with ultrafine tannins that blend nicely into the wine, delivering energy and length. Lovely ripe fruit with a juicy and flavorful finish. A classic and wonderfully proportioned young Brunello. Drinkable but better after 2026 and beyond.
Wine Spectator - 95
The core of sweet, ripe black cherry, blackberry, tamarind, earth and tar aromas and flavors is swallowed up by a wall of tannins in this wild, muscular red. Will require time to find its balance; however, even at this stage, everything converges on the long, complex finish. Best from 2029 through 2047.

Fuligni's 2019 Brunello di Montalcino Riserva reveals a sultry and savory side with medium-grained tannins and extra textural buffering that surrounds a core of dark blackberry fruit. The alcohol content is high at 15%, but this full-bodied vintage does a very good job of covering up those excesses. This Riserva closes with hints of root beer and sauna wood.
Vinous - 97
The 2019 Brunello di Montalcino Riserva is a seductress, containing an array of cinnamon, clove, allspice, black cherry and hints of bay. It sweeps across the palate with a radiant and classic feel, with vividly ripe red fruits and sweet spices perfectly guided by a core of brilliant acidity. Its minerality comes through in the finish, tactile and saline in form. A web of fine-grained tannins wrap the senses with youthful poise, nuances of cedar and inner rose. The 2019 is spellbinding and built for the cellar. What a beauty.
