Brunello di Montalcino 2018 Vintage Overview

2018 OVERVIEW

Silky yet firmly structured, Fuligni’s 2018 Brunello di Montalcino layers pure red and black cherry fruit with rose, sweet spice, tobacco and a whisper of wild herbs, all carried by lively acidity. The cooler, more classic vintage shows in its precision and elegance, with polished tannins giving shape and a long, savory, mineral-tinged finish that already charms but clearly has more to reveal in the cellar.

About Brunello di Montalcino

Fuligni’s Brunello di Montalcino is a pure Sangiovese of haunting elegance, drawn from high-altitude, east-facing vineyards on Montalcino’s rocky northeastern slopes. Aged predominantly in large Slavonian oak to preserve freshness and terroir, it weaves ripe red-cherry and strawberry fruit with notes of tobacco, spice, cedar and dried flowers, carried by finely etched tannins and vibrant acidity. Long-lived yet already seductive in many vintages, it sits in a refined middle ground between classic austerity and modern polish.
