The 2021 vintage is shaping up to be a modern legend, and Fuligni has absolutely nailed it. This is a wine that currently sits at the very pinnacle of the vintage (already sporting a massive 99 Points from James Suckling), and for good reason. This is a masterclass in elegance. Fuligni has always excelled at balancing power with a certain aristocratic finesse, and the 2021 is the epitome of that style. The nose is intoxicatingly perfumed, offering soaring aromas of rose petals, crushed dark cherries, blood orange, and a distinct, stony minerality. It feels almost weightless yet possesses intense concentration. On the palate, the tannins are ultra-fine—like crushed velvet—supporting a core of pure, radiant fruit. It is savory, salty, and incredibly long. While it has the structure to age for decades, the balance is so perfect that it is already a thrill to taste.
