E. Fuligni (Cottimelli)
Fuligni Brunello di Montalcino Sangiovese
Montalcino, Siena, Tuscany, Italy
Dark tawny red color. Mostly translucent. Decent nose with notes of black cherry and roses, some wood, a little tobacco leaf, and a little anise. Packs a punch in the mouth, with still-present acidity and structure supporting the fruit. OK finish.

Very shy at first while showing its earthy side. However, this was the only of the three wines for dinner that elevated itself with cuisine. Took about two hours for voluptuous fruit to come out. Definitely the elegant side of Brunello

A touch flat but still enjoyable. Good earth and acid, and not over the hill. Smelled exuberantly fruity on cork pop but with a bit of decanting that faded. Just a touch underwhelming.
