Process & Profile

Fuligni Brunello di Montalcino Riserva is a highly acclaimed Tuscan wine crafted from 100% Sangiovese Grosso grapes grown in the prestigious Montalcino region. Only produced in the finest vintages, the Riserva undergoes extended aging—often over five years, including at least 30 months in large Slavonian oak casks—before release. This traditional approach results in a wine of remarkable structure, depth, and aging potential.
