Note di degustazione
Very lustrous ruby with lovely healthy shading. Meaty and dense on the nose – really quite exciting. Great precision. Attack and vitality. Still some tannin but real attack. Great stuff! Wonderfully appetising. Quite a surprise considering all the rain. There was no Riserva in 2005 which presumably has helped this wine. (JR)

The 2005 Brunello di Montalcino is one of the riper wines readers will come across in this vintage. I was deeply impressed with sheer level of richness and body here. Round, sweet and caressing through to the finish, Fuligni's 2005 Brunello di Montalcino offers exceptional elegance and long, polished close to round things out. Sweet red cherries, subtle hints of French oak and tobacco linger on the long impeccable close. This is a wonderful Brunello than can be enjoyed pretty much upon release or cellared; either way it is drop-dead gorgeous.

What a joy it is to taste these new releases from Fuligni. The Brunellos in particular are both exceptional for their respective vintages. The wines capture a middle ground between modern and traditional styles that is immensely appealing. Importer: Empson, USA, Alexandria, VA; tel. (703) 684-0900
Medium-concentrated very mature-looking orange ruby, but with concentrated centre. Cherry cake and tiramisu, hints of vanilla. More fruit driven with aeration. Except for the grainy, dominant tannins, it cannot shake off the somewhat sweet impression it leaves behind. (WS)
