Tuscany is known for its landscapes, history and artistic legacy. As the birthplace of the Italian Renaissance, the region has an incredible art and architecture heritage.<\/p>\n
Tuscany is certainly the most famous of all Italian regions for its wines. Sangiovese reigns in all its forms in the vineyards of Chianti but also Montepulciano and Montalcino.<\/p>\n
It is also the land of the Super Tuscan, the Bordeaux blend style that laid the foundation of some of the greatest Italian wines.<\/p>\n
As a pairing with these wines, Tuscany cuisine is based on simplicity but high quality and certainly topped with Tuscan olive oil, recognized all over the world[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/2″][vc_single_image image=”6363″ img_size=”400×200″ alignment=”center”][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n
Fuligni was founded in 1923 by the Fuligni viscounts, an ancient Venetian family who moved to Tuscany around 1770. The present owner is Maria Flora Fuligni, who works side by side with her nephew Roberto Guerrini Fuligni.<\/p>\n
The property covers approx. 100 hectares east of Montalcino, historically the home to the most classic of Brunellos. The surface area under vine is 12 hectares, principally located at I Cottimelli (hence \u201cvigneti dei Cottimelli\u201d).<\/p>\n
The older vineyards are 380-450 meters above sea level, mainly east and southeast facing.<\/p>\n
Fuligni produces Rosso, Brunello, and Super Tuscans. They are all consistently ranked amongst Tuscany\u2019s finest.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
“The Fuligni 2018 Brunello di Montalcino stands out for its smooth integration of aromas and the carefully balanced intensity achieved here, which shows momentum but also remains very fine and nuanced. There are many sides to the bouquet with wild fruit, cassis, crushed stone, candied orange and fresh herbs or rosemary. A floral note also appears that suggests rose or iris root. The tannins are very well managed and silky. You hardly feel them, yet the wine offers firm structure throughout. This is a production of 35,000 bottles and one I am happy to recommend.” – Wine Advocate, 95 Points<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n Grape:<\/strong> 100% Sangiovese<\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":8773,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":[],"yoast_head":"\n
