In Montalcino, the name Ginestreto stands for something special: a Rosso di Montalcino that is more than just the "little brother" of Brunello. Fuligni has been producing this wine for years with a care that has long since earned him a reputation of his own. The Sangiovese Grosso comes partly from younger vines and partly from classified Brunello vineyards – a deliberate selection that gives the Ginestreto the balance between youthful freshness and structured depth that characterises it. The vinification follows the Fuligni philosophy: manual harvesting, careful selection, separate vinification of the different parcels. Part of the wine matures for around six months in French Allier tonneaux, the rest in stainless steel – a combination that harmonises fruit and structure.

Bright ruby red colour. Intense aromas of red cherry and wild strawberry, plus floral notes and a hint of tobacco. On the palate, the wine is silky and structured, with polished tannins and a powerful backbone. The fruit is clear and present, carried by the lively acidity of the Sangiovese. The final is of medium length, with fine elegance and a pleasant spiciness. A wine that shows the versatility of Rosso di Montalcino and goes well with a wide variety of dishes – a high-quality all-rounder for Tuscan cuisine, because it doesn't always have to be Brunello ...
