Fuligni|
Established in 1923, Fuligni is presently co-owned by Maria Flora
Fuligni and her nephew, Roberto Guerrini Fuligni.
The estate’s
portfolio comprises Montalcino’s classic duo—Brunello
di Montalcino and Rosso di Montalcino—in addition to a Super-Tuscan
known as SJ. Fuligni’s 25 acres of vines are planted
primarily to Sangiovese, with a small portion dedicated to Merlot,
the grape that joins Sangiovese in the SJ bottling. The estate has
an impeccable vintage record and is known for producing one of the
zone’s most elegant and refined Brunellos—even in challenging
vintages. This success is a profound testament to the deft and artisanal
approach of Roberto Guerrini—a professor of criminal law with
a passion for Brunello—and oenologist Paolo Vagaggini.
Guerrini and Vagaggini determine the profiles
of the wines in collaboration, and their efforts have authored an
overall stylistic orientation that weds elements of traditional and
modern viticultural approaches. The aging process reflects this integration
of schools, as the wines are initially placed in French barriques
(to stabilize the color) and thereafter, transferred to traditional botti. Guerrini’s
guiding principle keeps things paradoxically
basic: He simply makes wines that he can enjoy with friends.
