Fuligni (Cotimelli) Brunello di Montalcino 1997
The Winery
Fuligni
Located on the eastern rocky slopes of Montalcino, Fuligni is a family-owned estate that produces notable Brunello di Montalcino wines. Split amongst four vineyards, Fuligni has 10 hectares of dominantly Sangiovese vines producing its Brunello, Brunello Reserve, Rosso DOC, and IGT Toscana. Fuligni’s “Brunello di Montalcino Riserva 2010” received a nearly perfect score from wine critic James Suckling.
Summary
The Fuligni Brunello di Montalcino 1997, crafted from 100% Sangiovese Grosso, showcases the estate's commitment to tradition since its inception in 1923. This wine is notable for its bright acidity and medium to full body, offering a complex profile with layers of cherry, raspberry, and blackberry. Its nuanced aromas include hints of earth, spice, and clove, contributing to an elegant character. The tannins are soft yet present, providing a well-structured finish. The wine is matured in a combination of large Slavonian casks and some French oak, enhancing its depth without overwhelming the fruit. The vintage is celebrated as a landmark year, making this a collectible example of Brunello.
