    Ugolaia is a name that carries weight in Montalcino. The vineyard is located in the classic Sesta area, exposed to the south-west, on one of the best-sunniest and best-ventilated areas of the entire estate – and it bears a tradition that is taken literally at Lisini: The "veterani" of the company, the most experienced employees who have known the estate for decades, personally graft scions from the company's own massalselection onto wild rootstocks. No clone selection from the catalogue, no technological shortcuts – but knowledge passed on from hand to hand, vintage after vintage.

    According to Lisini, the wines from this vineyard have a distinctive character, good skin firmness and exceptional concentration in the pulp. Fermentation in small barrels of 6 to 15 hectolitres – vinification close to microvinification, which maximises the specific character of the vineyard. Then matured for 48 months in large Slavonian oak barrels. Only produced in great vintages.

    2020 was warm and generous – a year that gave Ugolaia what its south-west-facing vineyard carries best: depth of sunshine, ripe fruit, fullness. And yet Ugolaia remains what it always is: the sunniest, most accessible expression of Lisini – in contrast to the Riserva, which is more expansive, the Ugolaia tells the radiant, generous side of this earth. Intense garnet red colour. Marasca cherry, dark berries, violets, balsamic herbs, a hint of tobacco and earth on the nose – elegant and of great aromatic depth. Precise and full-bodied on the palate, with tannins of silky texture, balanced freshness and a long, mineral-spicy final. Not a Riserva label – but the heart of a cru. SUPERIORE.DE
