Gardini Notes: 100 Points
Orthodox in taste and vinification a Brunello of intensity and tension. The nose shows hints of pomegranate with touches of eucalyptus and juniper then citrine thyme in the closing. Sip with salty-sapid tannins with a return of balsamic notes and pomegranate. - Luca Gardini
James Suckling: 98 Points
Perfumed with sweet berry fresh flower and cedar aromas that follow through to a medium-bodied palate with firm and chewy tannins and a fresh finish. Very classy and structured. Extremely long. Give it time to open. Drink after 2026.
Kerin O'Keefe: 97 Points
Showing the intensity and concentration of the vintage but also the finesse that?s the hallmark of this storied estate the 2019 Fuligni is a stunner. It opens with aromas of camphor violet dog rose and spice while the full-bodied enveloping palate delivers succulent black cherry crushed raspberry dried mint and licorice alongside velvety tannins. Boasting a weightless elegance it closes on a note of almond liqueur. - Kerin O?Keefe

This historic unwaveringly reliable estate does not disappoint in 2019. Graciously expressive rather than austere it will nevertheless reveal more with time; yet the aromas ? a striking fusion of chestnut forest and polished wood with fennel and spiced plum ? are just so tempting now. It fills the mouth with lustrous red berries and pressed violets and after an initial caress tightly woven tannins amplify across the palate remaining poised in their volume. An intricate and detailed wie with profound depths. Matures in 20- to 30-hectolitre Slavonian oak casks with a small percentage in French tonneaux. Tasted by: Michaela Morris

Dusty and floral the 2019 Brunello di Montalcino opens with a perfumed blend of dried roses cherries mint and lavender candies. It?s elegant and seamlessly silky on the palate enveloping the senses with ripe red berry fruits contrasted by a bitter clove tinge. A core of brisk acidity maintains a lovely balance as a web of fine tannins saturates the palate and a pleasantly chewy sensation remains. The 2019 is classic to the core. - By Eric Guido on November 2023

Savory and snappy this medium-bodied Brunello is not lacking for structure and has wonderful energy propelling the wine forward on the palate angular ripe tannins and a surge of mineral lift.

Wine Advocate: 96 Points
With dark fruit balanced out by savory notes of tobacco leaf or cigar ash the Fuligni 2019 Brunello di Montalcino is rich and beautifully concentrated. In little time the bouquet reveals a floral interlude with dried rose petal and a tropical note of hibiscus. This wine shows a lot of angles all very pleasant that work together. The tannins are dusty and finely textured with a hint of powdery cocoa to close. There is a lot of momentum behind Fuligni and the wines keep getting better. The 2019 Brunello di Montalcino presented this year is a stellar example. - Monica Larner
