Fuligni Brunello di Montalcino 2018

Fuligni Brunello di Montalcino 2018

A classically styled Brunello from one of Montalcino’s most respected traditional estates, Fuligni’s 2018 emphasizes elegance, precision, and terroir expression over sheer power. Sourced from high-elevation vineyards on the eastern side of Montalcino, this wine reflects the cooler, more restrained character of the vintage and Fuligni’s long-standing commitment to traditional winemaking.

The bouquet is refined and aromatic, offering notes of sour cherry, red currant, and wild strawberry layered with rose petal, dried herbs, and subtle hints of orange peel and sweet spice. On the palate, the wine is medium-bodied and beautifully balanced, with vibrant acidity and finely grained tannins that give a sense of lift and clarity. Flavors of red fruit, savory earth, and mineral nuances unfold gracefully into a long, elegant finish.

Less opulent than warmer vintages, the 2018 Fuligni Brunello is a wine of transparency and finesse, rewarding patience and thoughtful cellaring while already offering pleasure with air.
