Founded by the Viscounts Fuligni in 1923, a storied Venetian family by way of England that moved to Tuscany in 1770, the current owner of their eponymous winery is Maria Flora Fuligni, who celebrated her 75th harvest at the estate in 2021. Their Ginestreto Rosso di Montalcino ages in steel for 6 months, then another 6 in Salvonian oak and Allier tonneaux. It rests for 2 years in bottle before release. Classic.
