Brilliant ’99 point’ Brunello – First release of Fuligni’s 2010 Riserva<\/h2>\n
\n

‘The year 2010 for Brunello di Montalcino is the greatest modern vintage<\/strong> of Italy\u2019s most famous red wine region. Never have the wines been so profound in quality, character, and quantity from the best hillside vineyards of Montalcino. They represent a new paradigm for Tuscany\u2019s unique sangiovese-based red.’ \u00a0James Suckling, www.jamessuckling.com<\/a><\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

A recent visit to this beautiful\u00a0family estate, run by the charming and debonair Roberto Fuligni, was a great opportunity for us to taste the ‘soon to be released’ 2010 Brunello Riserva.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\"The

Looking east through the beautiful Giovanni Vineyard<\/em><\/p><\/div>\n

Fans of great Sangiovese and great Bordeaux alike will appreciate the quality of this fantastic Brunello. Full of elegance, beautifully balanced with intense, dark cherry and plum fruit and some enticing savoury notes running through\u00a0– this is powerful and yet sublimely satisfying. Rich, vibrant and perfectly polished.The 2010 Riserva is already hard to resist, but this is just a baby and with patience this will reward buyers enormously in\u00a05 to 15 years from now.<\/p>\n

‘Wonderful aromas of dried mushrooms, flowers, plums, nuts and cedar. Complex. Full body, firm and silky tannins and a long, flavorful finish. I love the finish. Such elegance. Racy and very long. Superb. What a wine. I always love this. Drink or hold. 99 points.’ James Suckling. October 2015.<\/strong><\/em><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Fuligni\u00a0is rated among the very top producers here, making wines true to the style of traditional Brunello. Based in the original vineyard area of the town, (which has grown enormously in recent years) they are one of the few estates making bright, vibrant and still supremely elegant Brunello – they have never been tempted by\u00a0recent fashions for more weight, more fruit or more gloss in these wines – this is a pure and classic expression of what can be achieved here on these hallowed grounds.<\/p>\n

\"Detail<\/p>\n

‘I did a preliminary tasting of about seventy 2010 Brunello di Montalcino Riservas a few weeks ago in Tuscany and they are tremendous quality. \u00a0I expect them to live up to the anticipation of tens of thousands of keen Brunello lovers.’ <\/span><\/em>James Suckling, <\/span>www.jamessuckling.com<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n
