Fuligni Brunello di Montalcino 2017

Organic

From a warmer vintage, the perfume is exquisite. Cherry, lifted, pronounced light spices ? very polished, intense and elegant. It is so effortless. No sign of the warm vintage. In the mount it starts off fine and pretty but builds power with super silky mouthfeel that goes on and on. Fuligni are in a special cool part of Montalcino and it shows to perfection. Ian & Ches Cook, FWC. 

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. Drink 2024 ? 2044. 95 Points. Monica Larner, The Wine Advocate.
