The vineyards stretch across the \u003cstrong\u003eeastern slope of the hill\u003c\/strong\u003e, an area historically suited to viticulture in this region. The vines cover around ten hectares, set in a landscape characterised by various exposures. The winery is based in Cottimelli, in an eighteenth-century residence located a short distance from the village of Montalcino. The unique features of the soil favour the development of grapes essential for defining the \u003cstrong\u003earomatic profile\u003c\/strong\u003e and the structured character that distinguish the \u003cstrong\u003ecompany's production\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow it is produced\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe vinification process begins with \u003cstrong\u003efermentation in stainless steel\u003c\/strong\u003e, a fundamental choice to preserve aromatic freshness and ensure temperature control. Subsequently, the wine rests for thirty-six months in \u003cstrong\u003eSlavonian oak barrels\u003c\/strong\u003e. This lengthy ageing process stabilises the structure and softens the tannic component, respecting the natural evolution of the grape variety. To fully appreciate its organoleptic complexity, it is recommended to \u003cstrong\u003edecant for one hour\u003c\/strong\u003e before serving, at a temperature between eighteen and twenty degrees.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHistory and Curiosities\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSince 1923, the Fuligni family has been producing an excellent \u003cstrong\u003eBrunello di Montalcino DOCG\u003c\/strong\u003e.
