The entire month was warm and windy while nights were cool. This guaranteed a prolonged and slow ripening of the grapes and a delayed picking date that suggested a cool rather than a hot vintage \u2026 the bunches that did reach the cellars were of such high quality that I heard more than one producer claiming that 2012 is better than the already legendary 2010<\/em>&#8216;.<br \/>\n<strong>Walter Speller, JancisRobinson.com<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>We believe that Collemattoni and Fuligni epitomise all that is great from the region. Fuligni is a grand classic, with perfectly placed vineyards on the northern slopes of the town of Montalcino itself. This cooler northern exposition produces wines of elegance and sophistication which are among the top examples of the appellation every year \u2013 2012 is no exception. Marcello Bucci at Collemattoni, signora Fuligni\u2019s pupil when he was starting up, makes another exceptional wine on the southern slopes of Sant\u2019Angelo in Colli, with a dramatic view of the Val d\u2019Orcia, and his wines gain in energy and class with each vintage. Both come highly recommended.<\/p>\n<p>The new vintages will be available to taste at our <strong>Italian Tasting on February 22<sup>nd<\/sup><\/strong>.
