Lisini's vineyards are located between Sant'Angelo in Colle and Castelnuovo dell'Abate on the inner edge of the Sesta area and are cleansed by the constant breeze from the Tuscan coast. The stony soils with a significant proportion of limestone and the altitude of over 300 metres help to maintain the freshness of the wines.

In the first nose it shows floral aromas of pressed roses and violets, after a few minutes in the glass the wine then offers a complex potpourri of dark cherries, dried blackberries, Indian spices, teriyaki sauce, crushed rock and a subtle note of liquorice. It clearly draws its personality from equal parts elegance and power. On the palate, it is extremely soft and supple, delivering beautiful end notes of dusty minerals and some clay alongside its plump fruit. This delicious wine can't help but move forward.

"Still quite primarily fruity, spicy bouquet with ripe sour cherry (Marasca), dark cherry, very classic style with air. Extremely juicy on the palate with fine spice and tart red fruit as well as mineral notes, compact with grippy juiciness, still quite pithy and savoury with piquancy and gripping, still slightly porous tannins." Weinwisser

"The Brunello di Montalcino 2020 is a real pleasure. Its flower shop bouquet of fragrant violets, lavender and wet stones is complemented by dusty, dried strawberries and a hint of rhubarb. Tangy and fresh, with medium body weight, it sweeps across the palate with tart wild berry and lavender tones, driven by zesty acidity. The 2020 leaves nothing to be desired and finishes with silty tannins, notes of liquorice and sour citrus fruits and a fantastic length." Vinous

"A blend of graphite, cherry and raspberry aromas and flavours characterise this expressive red wine. Accents of earth, leather and wild herbs add depth, and it shows the structure to develop for at least a decade or more. Its firm, dusty tannins will need time to integrate." Wine Spectator

"A traditional estate where you can read an elegant Brunello, of undoubtedly classic print. Nose with notes of cherry Ferrovia, then rose hips and juniper. The palate has tannins and is of remarkable intensity." Luca Gardini

"Here is the epitome of the seductive power of the 2020 vintage: dark, exotic berries with a hint of juniper, a stunning fusion of black cherry and luscious apricot with an iron-rich facet on the palate. It is full-bodied without being heavy and skilfully balances opulence and austerity, while the firm tannins mark their territory. With this vintage, Lisini finally returns to its full Brunello palette." Decanter
