Product Description
Fuligni Rosso di Montalcino “Ginestreto” DOC
100% Sangiovese. Fuligni Rosso di Montalcino “Ginestreto” is deep ruby in color, fruity and floral bouquet with subtle spice; silky, structured and well balanced, with soft, noble tannins
“For Fuligni, terroir is the essence of great wines, and is the cultural legacy of generations of winegrowers who work a piece land to capture its best exposures and to perfect cultivation and aging techniques just as the Fulignis have done over the last century at their estate in Montalcino.”
