Lodovico Lisini died in 1950 and left the estate to his daughter Elina. At a time when the Mezzadria was coming to an end and agriculture was being abandoned, Elina decided differently: she invested, planted new vineyards and transformed a family estate into a serious winery. In 1967, she was one of the 24 founders of the Brunello Consortium. She was its president for many years. Until her death in 2009, it was the quiet, tenacious Elina Lisini who gave the name of this house its reputation – and a wine that Giulio Gambelli, Italy's most legendary taster, helped to shape. The estate is located in southern Montalcino between Sant'Angelo in Colle and Castelnuovo dell'Abate, on tuff-rich soil of Eocene origin, 300 to 350 metres above sea level and characterised by the warm Maremma breezes. 2021 was a year of extraordinary harmony: warm, balanced summer, cool nights until September, even ripeness, precise tannins.

Intense garnet red colour. Cherry, plum, violet, tobacco, balsamic herbs and a hint of earth on the nose – layered, of quiet strength. The palate is full-bodied and full of fresh tension, with well-integrated tannins and a long, mineral final. A Brunello that waits – and gives its all with the necessary maturity. SUPERIORE.DE
