Rosso di Montalcino 2023

This beautiful property, surrounding a 16th century Medici villa, was founded in 1923 by a descendant of the Venetian Fulignis.  Although the wines labels still bear that city's symbol, the lion of St. Marco, the family has long been thoroughly Tuscan.  The present generations are Maria Flora Fuligni and nephew Roberto Guerrini Fuligni, aka Professor of Criminal Law at Siena University, who styles the wines with oenologist Paolo Vagaggini. 

Stylistically, the wines capture the middle ground between modern and traditional, bursting at the seams with plum and cherry fruit sustained by a firm, full structure and polished tannins. Rosso Ginstreto is a selection from across the estate's vineyards, aged in stainless steel and tonneaux. A juicy, medium-weight wine with attractive floral notes and fresh red berry fruit, the palate is silky and refreshing.
