99 points James Suckling: "So perfumed and seductive on the nose, with black cherries, minerals and rose petals that follow through to a medium body with ultra-fine tannins. Its finesse and vision tell you why Brunello is great. Long, vivid and beautifully balanced. Already a joy to taste, but best after 2027. (12/13/25)"
98 points Kerin O'Keefe: "Lavender, eucalyptus, dark spice, new leather and juniper berry aromas shape the beautiful nose on the 2021 Fuligni Brunello. All about class and finesse, the palate boasts great intensity, delivering ripe Marasca cherry, blood orange, star anise and rosemary alongside vibrant acidity. Taut, refined tannins lend support. While incredibly tempting, this is still young so give it time to reach its full potential. Drink: 2031–2041. Abv: 14.5%. (Nov 2025)"
97 points Ian D'Agata Wine Review: "One of the best of the 2021 Brunellos, Fuligni’s latest creation is a masterpiece of classicism. Good full, deep red. The refined nose offers aromas of dark red cherry, raspberry, violet, flint and cedar. Then silky and compact in the mouth, with an enticing multi-layered quality to its complex, still youthfully brooding flavours of red berries, dark plum, and orange peel. Firm tannins frame the palate-coating flavours without introducing any hardness but leave an impression of steeliness and tapered, elegant delivery of fruit. This beauty really resonates on the rising, pure, precise finish. Drinking window: 2030-2040. (12/19/25)"
95 points Eric Guido (Vinous): "The 2021 Brunello di Montalcino mixes crushed violets and roses with nuances of sour citrus and wild berries to form its alluring bouquet. A model of purity, it is surprisingly lifted yet silken in feel, with pretty red berry fruits swirling across a tactile mineral core. Sweet tannins and a staining of primary concentration remain, finishing long and balanced with a pleasantly chewy sensation that lingers. While already appealing, the 2021 will require cellaring to soften the blow. Drink: 2028-2046. (Nov 2025)"
