Chuck Hayward, JJ Buckley, April 2011

Pale rose/orange color with a translucent center. The aromatics are dominated by sweet vanilla in this traditionally styled example. The palate shows light weight and an ethereal presence with hints of earth and sweet fruit, and light acidity contributes to the wine's delicate nature. This ends in firm tannins that should be resolved in the next 5-7 years.

Sweet flowers, with blueberries and blackberries on the nose. Toffee and creme brulee. So complex and subtle with everyth ing there. Full and very velvety with soft and silky tannins and a long, long finish. Beautiful polish to this wine. Best after 2013.

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, May 2011

Fuligni's 2006 Brunello di Montalcino is one of the stars of the vintage. Sweet floral notes weave through a core of expressive red fruit as the wine opens up in the glass. The 2006 shows incredible purity and finesse, most notably in its silky, polished tannins. This isn't a blockbuster, but rather a wine that conquers through its sheer finesse. The wine spent 27 days on the skins. The volume and weight are influenced by the modern school, everything else is traditional all the way. The 2006 is the first vintage in which the percentage of French oak has been dropped to 25%, which has allowed the purity of the fruit to shine through to a degree that I have seldom, if ever, seen here. Rain during June naturally lowered yields and may partly explain why Fuligni's 2006 is so phenomenal. Simply put, readers won't want to miss this superb Brunello. Anticipated maturity: 2016-2031.
