2013 Brunello di Montalcino Eredi Fuligni

The wine is an elegant synthesis of fruity and spicy notes and is the result of a careful selection of selected grapes from low yields per hectare. It is only produced in the best harvest years, when the quality level of the grapes harvested is of the highest quality.

Galloni 97 points: Luminous red. High-pitched aromas of sour red cherry, raspberry, rose, stainless steel, white pepper and minerals. Dense and silky in texture but displays great juiciness, clarity and floral lift; the lively but harmonious acidity really lifts and frames the bright red and mineral flavors. Totally saturates the palate and yet comes off as virtually weightless. This hauntingly beautiful wine showcases everything Brunello can be when made from an ultra-competent producer farming Sangiovese vines that grow in what is a real grand cru section of the much too large Brunello di Montalcino denomination.

James Suckling 96 points: A balanced and firm red with plum, light chocolate, walnut and spice characters. Medium to full body and silky tannins. I love the flavorful finish. Drink in 2021.
