Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, April 2008

The 2006 Rosso di Montalcino Ginestreto is a deeply-colored offering redolent of black cherries, violets, smoke and minerals. It is made in a fairly full-bodied style, but it comes across as somewhat linear and lacking the sheer volume that makes so many Rossos in this vintage incredibly appealing. This is a Rosso that cries out for food. Anticipated maturity: 2008-2016.

About Winery

The Fuligni Estate spreads over approximately one hundred fully-cultivated hectares of land in an almost continual strip on the eastern side of Montalcino where, historically, the most authentic production of Brunello emerged. The vines, which extend over ten hectares, are primarily located at Cottimelli at altitudes varying from 380 to 450 meters above sea level. Here, the land, which predominantly faces east, belongs entirely to the Santa Fiora (marl) geological formation of Eocene origin and is made up of a prevalently rocky terrain.
