Eredi Fuligni - Rosso di Montalcino - Ginestreto 2020

Robert Parker Wine Advocate [vintage 2016]

The 2016 Rosso di Montalcino Ginestreto is a delightful wine with a bright ruby appearance followed by fresh fruit flavors. The wine offers wild berry, violets, lilacs and fragrant aromas of moist potting soil. A lasting sense of intensity and freshness drives this wine clean over the palate. It would pair nicely with any cheese-heavy dish such as pasta or lasagna.

In addition to the wines listed here, I had the chance to revisit some older vintages during my visit at the Fuligni winery earlier this year. Among the bottles I re-tasted were the 2013, 2012 and 2010 Brunello di Montalcino Riservas. Because I have recently reviewed these wines and because my scores have not changed since those initial impressions, I have decided not to submit duplicate reviews of those vintages. But I did get the opportunity to taste the Brunello di Montalcino Riservas from 2007 and 1983, and I have recorded my latest impressions here.

Jancis Robinson

From young vines. Lustrous mid ruby. Balsamic, lifted nose with hints of exotic spice (20% new oak tonneaux) and iron. Gorgeous, elegant, lifted raspberry and cherry fruit with lots of juice but with a medium-bodied feel. Juicy finish with a nice tannic bite and perfumed red fruit with touches of oak.
