Brunello di Montalcino Riserva 2010 from Fuligni is a powerhouse Sangiovese produced only in the most exceptional vintages. This Riserva is sourced from the estate’s oldest vines in the northern sector of Montalcino, where cooler temperatures and marl-rich soils yield wines of great aromatic complexity and firm structure. The 2010 vintage provided ideal ripening, resulting in a wine with profound depth and a formidable tannic backbone. Following a long maceration, it spent over three years in a combination of Slavonian oak casks and French tonneaux to refine its texture. The profile is characterised by notes of black cherry, tobacco and forest floor, underpinned by a vibrant acidity that ensures a long life in the cellar. This is a classic, regal Brunello that balances the ripeness of the vintage with the timeless elegance of the Fuligni house style.

The 2010 Brunello di Montalcino Riserva is a wine that shows immense harmony and inner poise. The powerful vintage is elegantly tempered in this expression thanks to the flowing and musical nature of the aromatic presentation. The bouquet opens to a steady pace with small berry nuances followed by spice, tobacco, pressed rose and moist earth. Dig deep and there is a bit of white truffle in there as well. The wine boasts a silky texture with a lean, tonic feel that excels in terms of length and persistence. It never feels too heavy or flat. In fact, the wine is brimming with inner energy and vitality. - Monica Larner

The 2010 Brunello di Montalcino Riserva is earthy upon first tilt of the glass, mixing flowery underbrush and worn leather. Yet it slowly unwinds with time, adding depths of dried black cherry, plum and sage. This is seamlessly silky and serene, displaying remarkable balance as a wave of ripe fruits and sweet spice flow across the palate with ease, giving way to a tug of grippy tannins toward the close. A bump of residual acidity maintains marvelous freshness as the 2010 tapers off long, structured and spicy with a hint of sous-bois. As pleasurable as this is today, the 2010 is still maturing in bottle, displaying a primary concentration that will carry it for decades—bravo.Eric Guido1st November 2024

Tasted blind. Heavy bottle! Dark ruby with bright orange rim. Compact, firm nose and concentrated, elegant palate that still holds back. Quite precise, succulent finish that oozes style. (WS)
