Tasting Notes

JS96

Very perfumed aromas of ripe fruit such as strawberries and blackberries. Turns to flowers and incense. Full-bodied, with fine tannins and a bright, citrus aftertaste and ultra-clean fruit. The purity and focus of the wine is spellbinding.

W&S95

The Fuligni estate includes 25 acres of vines in the hills east of the town of Montalcino, the vineyards rising from 1,250 to 1,475 feet, the vines ranging from 12 to 30 years old. The classical nature of this Montalcino terroir takes charge, using the richness of new oak to fill out its brisk red fruit and subtle spices, shifting from black walnut scents to pepperoncini and finocchiona as if the sun had come out from behind a cloud. Evocative of a rocky Montalcino hillside, this is a riveting 2006 with years of development ahead.
