{"product_id":"fuligni-brunello-di-montalcino-2020","title":"Fuligni - Brunello di Montalcino 2020","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe aristocratic Fuligni family goes back to the times of ancient Venice, later moving to England in the 14th century, where it received favors and honors from the Crown. When the House of Habsburg-Lorraine took over the Grand Duchy of Tuscany, Luigi Fuligni left England to move to the region and serve as a general for the new rulers around 1770. Luigi Fuligni’s ancestor Giovanni Maria Fuligni moved to Montalcino in the early 1900s, where he started to produce wine, as his family had done before him on their land in the Maremma region, mainly near Scansano until they moved to Montalcino.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Fuligni Estate covers approximately 100 fully cultivated hectares on the eastern side of Montalcino where, historically, the most authentic Brunellos have come to life. There are other vineyards, which focus on Rosso di Montalcino and IGT wines, located around Villa San Giovanni a Semini. The property here dates back to the 17th century and is an agriturismo today. Since Giovanni Maria Fuligni’s death in 1971, the winery has been headed up by his daughter Maria Flora, a true woman of wine. in 1975 Maria Flora, alongside consulting enologist Francesco Vagaggini, bottled her first Brunello. She has always managed this land with the same passion of her ancestors.  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eToday, Paolo Vagaggini, one of the top Sangiovese experts in Tuscany, maintains the long-standing relationship between the Fuligni and the Vagaggini families which dates back to the sixties, when Fuligni collaborated with Paolo’s father, Francesco Vagaggini. The special relationship with the Vagaggini family has recently deepened with the addition of young Jacopo Vagaggini, Paolo's son, now collaborating with his father.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe vines are close to thirty years old, with excellent exposure and stony tuffaceous soil dating back to the Eocene epoch. This Brunello ages forty-eight months in total, including at least thirty in oak.\u003cspan class=\"Apple-converted-space\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\"\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eA bright red color with orange highlights, the 2020 Brunello Di Montalcino is very pretty, with a delicate rustic hint that I find quite attractive. It reveals attractive red fruit on the nose, with notes of cranberries, wild herbs, and just a subtle hint of saddle leather and blood orange. Mid-weight, it's light on its feet while delivering wonderful energy and freshness, with snappy ripe red fruit, a refreshing, angular feel, and mouthwatering saline and acidity. This is certainly one of the highlights of the 2020 vintage.\" - 97 Points, Jeb Dunnuck\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\"\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eThe 2020 Brunello from Fuligni is fragrant, smooth and delicious. It opens with enticing aromas of wild berry, violet, crushed mint and pine forest. Full-bodied and loaded with flavor and finesse, it delivers mature Marasca cherry, raspberry, star anise and cake spice set against fine-grained tannins. Boasting a weightless finesse, it’s well balanced, with fresh acidity.\" - 97 Points, Kerin O'Keefe\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\"\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eImmense, sober and timeless elegance to indulge in little by little. The rigorous, territorial, aromatic framework leaves room for a well-balanced gustative texture between mature tannins and balsamic freshness. The 380-450m-high vineyards extend over about 15ha, mainly around the winery's nucleus, on the north-eastern slope of the Montalcino hillside.\" - 96 Points, Decanter\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProducer:\u003c\/strong\u003e Fuligni\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCountry:\u003c\/strong\u003e Italy\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRegion:\u003c\/strong\u003e Tuscany\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVarietal:\u003c\/strong\u003e Sangiovese\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAppellation:\u003c\/strong\u003e Brunello di Montalcino\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVintage:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2020\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e 750ml\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"SGWS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46252245614728,"sku":null,"price":96.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0349\/2239\/7832\/files\/Photoroom_046_20241119_153554_1abd35a0-4dfb-48ff-92a5-8ab41ca525af.jpg?v=1785261662","url":"https:\/\/vinonueva.com\/products\/fuligni-brunello-di-montalcino-2020","provider":"VinoNueva Fine \u0026 Rare Wine Miami","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
