| Conti Costanti | Brunello di Montalcino DOCG | 2012 | Vinous | 31/03/2017 | 94 | ||||||
Verbiage“Fuligni’s 25 acres of vines face east-southeast on stony slopes just to the north of the town of Montalcino. [The late] Maria Flora Fuligni and her nephew, Roberto, make a Riserva in top vintages, selecting barrels primarily from their older-vine plots. The 2010 Riserva opens with cool floral notes and a hint of eucalyptus, and unfolds with layers of fresh cherry and baking spices. The flavors wash over smooth tannins, gaining intensity as the wine sits in the glass, picking up complex notes of savory herbs, orange peel and tobacco. Poised and elegant, it will gain further complexity with a few more years in the cellar.” Modify review” -Antonio Galloni, Vinous, Mar. 31. 2017 |

| Private: Conterno Fantino | Private: Barolo Ginestra “Vigna del Gris” DOCG | 2013 | Vinous | 01/03/2017 | 93 | ||||||
Verbiage“The 2013 Barolo Ginestra Vigna del Gris is another super-intriguing Barolo from Conterno-Fantino. Sweet, floral aromatics meld into a core of bright red stone fruit, plum, mint and white pepper. As usual, the aromatics are quite lifted, but in the last few years, the tannins from this site have shown a bit more sweetness. As always, though, the Vigna del Gris is the most slender and feminine of the Conterno-Fantino Barolos.” — Antonio Galloni, Vinous, Mar. 1, 2017 |

| Fuligni | Brunello di Montalcino DOCG | 2012 | Vinous | 01/03/2017 | 93 | ||||||
Verbiage“Good full red. Complex, penetrating aromas and flavors of red cherry, strawberry, minerals and violet, plus a complicating hint of cinnamon. Rich and dense but with a strong mineral underpinning giving this a very precise, lifted mouthfeel. Long and very clean on the vibrant finish. Outstanding, classic, refined Brunello.” -Ian D’Agata Mar. 2017 |
