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.
\nTuscany 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.
\nIt is also the land of the Super Tuscan, the Bordeaux blend style that laid the foundation of some of the greatest Italian wines.
\nAs 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.
\nThe 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).
\nThe older vineyards are 380-450 meters above sea level, mainly east and southeast facing.
\nFuligni produces Rosso, Brunello, and Super Tuscans. They are all consistently ranked amongst Tuscany\u2019s finest. The wines age in a restored convent, which was transformed into a barrel cellar, tasting rooms and guest quarters.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"

“The purity of fruit on the nose is perfection with cherries, crushed raspberries, mineral, pumice and citrus fruit. Dust, too. Full body. Powerful, chewy tannins. So long and muscular, yet polished and formed. Most structured Brunello I have ever had from here. A wine for decades.” – James Suckling, 100 Points<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n Grape:<\/strong> 100% Sangiovese<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":8287,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":[],"yoast_head":"\n
