The history of Lisini dates to the time of the Medicis. This is one of Montalcino’s oldest estates, and a founding member of the Corsorzio del Vino Brunello di Montalcino. Lisini is one of the few producers in Sant’Angelo in Colle, in the south-west of Montalcino. The proximity here to Maremma gives maritime breezes warding against summer heat, which is especially important in a hot, dry a year. Thick woodland, olive groves and wild scrubs surround the 25 hectares under vine – a rural haven of t
2018 Lisini Brunello di Montalcino is a vibrant expression of Sangiovese, aged 42 months in neutral Slovenian oak. The nose offers high notes of cherry, herbs, and dried flowers, while the palate is pure, light, and harmonious with flavors of red fruit, blood orange, and bay leaf. Tannins are firm with a mineral finish. The wine comes from Montalcino’s historic Lisini estate, known for its traditional winemaking methods. 95 points from Decanter.

Lisini s traditional practices are laid bare by the transparency of the 2018 vintage. 45 days of maceration and fermentation on skins infuses complexity and structure, followed by 42 months in old neutral, Slovenian oak. This is a sprung celebration of Sangiovese, full of joy and life. The nose reminiscent of Pinot-like high notes: glassy cherry, herbs and dried flowers. The palate is light, so pure and utterly harmonious: cherrystone, red peach, blood orange, chinotto, bay leaf with salt flecked edges. Tannins present in all the right places, this has a firm minerality and is very memorable. Drink 2024 – 2034. – Greg Sherwood MW.
