The 2020 Brunello from the Fuligni estate is an elegant and rich effort that’s quite seductive, with an attractive whiplash of acidity that maintains fantastic energy. The 2020 possesses a balance of fruit, acid and structure atypical of the vintage. Oenologist Jacopo Vagaggini explains that yields were reduced by 10% because of the warm and dry conditions, which led to small berries and thick skins. Harvest began on September 15, which is early by their standards. With that said, they were happy enough with the results to decide to make a Riserva. Honestly, I’m not surprised—the Brunello is one of the most harmonious wines of 2020. As for the 2019 Riserva. It’s classic to the core and destined for a long and glorious evolution in bottle. For fans of Brunello who haven’t begun stockpiling Fuligni: what are you waiting for?
