Tasting notes
From young vines. Lustrous mid ruby. Balsamic, lifted nose with hints of exotic spice (20% new oak tonneaux) and iron. Gorgeous, elegant, lifted raspberry and cherry fruit with lots of juice but with a medium-bodied feel. Juicy finish with a nice tannic bite and perfumed red fruit with touches of oak. (WS)

Totally unique yet seductive, the 2020 Rosso di Montalcino Ginestreto wafts up with a wild mix of ginger spiced cookie, sour cherries, zests of tangerine and violets. This is a seductress on the palate, silky and supple, with a pretty inner sweetness and mineral-tinged red berries that add a more tactile feel toward the close. Purple and blue-toned inner florals resonate throughout, as the 2020 finishes with a gentle tug of tannin and a staining of wild berry preserves that keep me looking back to the glass for more. This may not be the longest-lived rendition of Ginestreto, but it will certainly make fans of Fuligni very happy over the next three to five years.
