Roberto and his family are wonderful people, and great to spend time with.

Futronic,

How far from the town of Montalcino is the winery? Is it easy to find? Thanks for your help.

Well, the office and one barrel room is located right in Montalcino on S. Saloni (quite close to Re di Macchia, if you've been to that restaurant). The winery is located outside of Montalcino in the direction of Buonconvento, maybe less than 5km away. It will be on your right-hand side.

Also, if you go to the Consorzio Brunello di Montalcino website, you can get a map of the area that lists where all the wineries are located. Fuligni is #12, located in section B2 of the map.

When you make an appointment, Roberto or someone in his family will let you know where to meet them - office or winery.

Don't mean to dispute what Futronic is saying but you can reach Roberto directly at brunellofuligni@virgilio.it. I agree, you will not find a nicer man to spend time with and discuss wines. He loves vintage Champagne and would be a nice gift for his hospitality.

Vinoman7 - The estate is located on the north (Siena) side of Montalcino about 2-3 km down the hill (towards Val di Suga, Caparzo, Altesino, Pinino). As you are going down the hill, the estate is on the right.

Thanks for your help guys, I plan on driving myself there. I don't want to get lost. I appreciate the champagne tip, hopefully it's not hard to find in Italy.

No dispute at all! I didn't have that email address, just Roberto's personal one, so you can understand why I didn't want to post it.

He's a wonderful person (as is his entire family!), so you're in for a treat if they're available.

Don't worry about getting lost - it's a small area, the signs are quite good, and people are extremely friendly, so if you do take a wrong turn, just ask for help!

My wife and I have decided to get out of town with our 13 month old daughter and go to Florence, Siena, and wherever else we decide for 10-12 days leaving March 26ish.

Any hotel recommendations with patio/terrazza off of the room in siena? Our daughter goes to bed early and we would like to sit outside, weather permitting, and enjoy some wine.

A great place to stay, with the wonderful patio, is in Montalcino. My wife would remember the name, but she's in bed. It is an old olive mill coverted to a wonderful hotel with pool and wonderful patios (2). It's right on the City wall as you are entering town. Great place to stay!

thanks for the info Sandy
