Quality wine here; fragrant, floral, perfect ripeness without slipping over, lovely fresh fruit and spice with wood...

Though the bark and bite of the vintage will try to test even the purest fruit, this Fuligni is immune, the Brunello...

A truly excellent wine; jammy, plummy, yet wonderfully rustic at the same time with a medium dry finish. Extremely complex, with layers of flavour and a floral overtone. This wine is very integrated and quite special.

The first review was from around 2012-2013. The last two bottles were consumed at my 40th birthday as part of a vertical. They were amazing, moody and subtle - but full of character compared to the other wines.

At first, quite light on the palate, almost like a Chianti Classico. However, given time in the glass, this fills out and opens up. A rather fresh medium-bodied style of Brunello, perhaps reflecting the vintage. Bright red cherry fruit, showing some maturity with some dried fruit notes on the finish along with bright acidity and silky tannin. Really grew on me the more I sipped. Fine stuff. Drinking now, should hold another half dozen years or so. Tasting July 2020.
