Here's how one of Italy's most renowned winemakers, Lisini, described Brunello di Montalcino: Deep ruby ​​red that ages to a bright orange hue. Aroma: A slightly ethereal bouquet of extraordinary elegance with hints of tar, undergrowth, tobacco, violet, and vanilla. Flavor: Dry, yet soft, full, and harmonious, with a firm, viper-like core and consistent, aristocratic texture; full-bodied.

Considered one of the finest expressions of Italian winemaking, Brunello di Montalcino is produced exclusively from the eponymous grape, a Sangiovese Grosso variety. Azienda Agraria Lisini's Brunello di Montalcino stands out for its truly superior characteristics, achieved through constant care of the vines, cultivated using traditional methods that exclude any forced vine growth, careful selection and thinning of the bunches during growth, and meticulous selection of the grapes during harvest. All this, combined with the most modern winemaking methods, ensures exceptional quality even in less than favorable seasonal conditions.

An intense and dark Brunello with a very savory profile. Aromas of herbs, black cherries, black pepper and tar, then velvety and elegant tannins with integrated acidity and a tight, precise, juicy and focused finish. Drink or hold.

The 2020 Brunello di Montalcino is a total pleasure to take in, with its florist shop bouquet of perfumed violet, lavender and wet stone complementing dusty dried strawberries and hints of rhubarb. Zesty and fresh, sporting medium-bodied weight, it sweeps across the palate with tart wild berry fruit and lavender tones, propelled by zesty acidity. The 2020 doesn't skip a beat, finishing with silty tannins, tinges of licorice and sour citrus and fantastic length.
