If Montosoli is the great Montalcino cru in the north, then the Sesta area between Castelnuovo dell'Abate and Sant'Angelo in Colle is its southern counterpart. This is where the Lisini vineyards are located.

Deep ruby red with orange-coloured reflections. Complex, intensely spicy aromas, dark wild berries, notes of tobacco, pepper and leather in the clear bouquet, complex and well-balanced flavour through to the pleasantly warm finish. Lisini has masterfully managed to capture the beauty of the 2019 vintage without the fruit being overwhelmed by the power. A Brunello Riserva – as elegant and classic as the textbook. SUPERIORE.DE

"Beguiling perfume of red forest fruits, dried roses and sandalwood; the attack is compact, the tannins fine-grained, in balance with the crisp acidity, finishing long on notes of berries and pepper. Convinces with its super-elegant style." Vinum

"Packed with cherry and blackberry fruit, this red wine is dense and somewhat chunky at this stage. Mineral, earthy and floral notes give it depth, and there are hints of fruit and earth and accents of Tuscan undergrowth on the finish. A solid base of tannins gives it grip; it is balanced and built for the long haul." Wine Spectator

"The Brunello di Montalcino Riserva 2019 captures the imagination as a blend of geranium and rose petals complements the citrus-influenced blackberries and a hint of violet pastille. This wine has a lively acidity and an abundance of mineral flavours of red and black fruits, complemented by a hint of orange peel towards the end. The finish reveals its tannic and balanced structure, but with a primary concentration that gives it tremendous balance, while nuances of tobacco and liquorice fade away. Bury it deep in the cellar." Vinous

"Due to the reduced quantities in 2019, the Lisini family decided to sacrifice their Ugolaia bottling to strengthen the Riserva. This is an impressive example from the mild Sesta zone in the south-east of Montalcino. The aroma of myrtle and pine surrounds dark cherries and black raspberries. On the palate, iron and chestnuts intertwine with the lush and exotic red fruits. Equally lush tannins provide a generous sandy embrace. Polished and layered with mineral depths, this wine already feels satisfying, but the best is yet to come." Decanter
