Eredi Fuligni - Brunello di Montalcino 2018

Wine Spectator

James Suckling

A fine Brunello with black cherry, hazelnut and chocolate aromas and flavors. Very perfumed. Medium-bodied with a pretty texture and delicious finish. Lovely fine tannins. Not the most structured red but will improve with age while delivering wonderful pleasure now. Drinkable but better after 2023.

The Wine Independent

Raffaele Vecchione - WinesCritic.com

Yellow peaches, red prunes and crunchy strawberries inebriate the glass setting the primary scene of this solid, centred Brunello. In the secondary scene perfumes of hazelnuts and fresh almonds blend with chamomile flowers and linden. Medium to full bodied, smooth tannins and a composed, intriguing finale, it's feminine salinity makes it a joy to return to the glass. Better from 2024.

Falstaff

Clear medium dense ruby with broad garnet rim. Very fragrant and inviting nose, shows lots of fresh fruit with fresh plum and cherry, fine herbal savouriness in the background. Compact and vivid in texture, shows very balanced and clear with well integrated tannin, spreads in long waves, nice juiciness in the flow.

Decanter Magazine

Under the leadership of Maria Flora Fuligni since 1971, along with her long-time right-hand Dr Daniela Perino - now the estate’s CEO - Fuligni is one of the denomination’s most consistent performers. The 2018 does not disappoint: it epitomises the elegance of the vintage. A captivating synthesis of florals and earth, the nose radiates pressed violet, lavender and rose with truffle and tobacco accents. It expands in the mouth with flavour rather than weight or brawn. Red currants and orange are amplified by piercing acidity, and well-formed, magnificently textured tannins are chalky and adequately padded, giving layers and profundity. Not pushed beyond its capacity, this will drink beautifully over the next decade.
