Lisini

Entspannten Genuss bietet der süffige, aber keinesfalls schlichte Rosso mit seinem frischen Duft und dem herzhaften, ausgewogenen Geschmack. Ein Rosso Toscano mit Anspruch! SUPERIORE.DE

"Toasty oak on the nose and then sweetness and richness. Very vibrant, much richer than most Sangiovese. Very obviously Montalcino ripeness. Spicy and fun." Jancis Robinson

"What a wonderfully fresh and vibrant expression of Sangiovese, showing peppery herbs and florals up front and then giving way to crushed cherries with hints of leather and undergrowth. On the palate, the 2016 Lisini San Biagio is cool-toned and silky, while delivering a beautiful display of pure red berry fruits, laced with minerals and spice. The finish is long with a staining of cherry, as zesty acids and mineral tones sizzle upon the senses. Lisini never ceases to amaze." Vinous

Nnuanciertes Bouquet nach dunklen Kirschen, Beeren und Gewürzen, Lisinis Rosso setzt seine edle Herkunft schön in Szene. Am Gaumen mit frischer Frucht, gefälliger Struktur und guter Länge. SUPERIORE.DE

Helles Rubinrot. Opulentes und animierendes Aroma von roten Beeren, Kaffee und Kräutern. Dicht, mit feiner Extraktsüße und großer Reichhaltigkeit, mit einer feinen salzigen Komponente im Spannungsfeld zu den Aromen roter Früchte. Die 2015er Ausgabe ist eine wunderschöne Interpretation der Rebsorte und von einem beschwingten Trinkfluss geprägt. Die volle, runde Frucht ist immer präsent, im langen Finale überrascht eine animierende, pfeffrige Würze. SUPERIORE.DE

"Himbeerduftig, dezente Kräuteraromatik; überaus geschliffene Textur, die Tannine robust, hat Saft und Schmelz bis in den langen Ausklang. Elegant, mit guter Länge und doch auch Charakter. Hervorragender Essensbegleiter." Vinum

"Tasted blind. Concentrated mid ruby. Firm cherry nose. Richness and depth on the palate and at the same time still compact. Perfect balance on the palate with fine, long, powdery tannins. Real fireworks still to come." Jancis Robinson

"A serious, brooding red, with ripe cherry and strawberry flavors offsetting the beefy tannins. Loam, iron and almond notes chime in. Balanced and long overall." Wine Spectator

"The Lisini 2015 Brunello di Montalcino shows muscle and brawn, filling out its full-bodied frame with plenty of dark fruit, spice, tar and smoke. If you like a more concentrated style of Sangiovese, this is your wine. It offers seamless harmony and sun-drenched intensity that all work very nicely in this classic and warm vintage. You can wait, or drink it in the near-term with a rack of lamb." Robert Parker

"With vineyards between Sant'Angelo in Colle and Castelnuovo dell'Abate on the inner edge of the Sesta district, Lisini's vineyards are cleansed by constant breezes from the Tuscan Coast. Stony soils with an important underpinning of limestone as well as elevations over 300 metres help preserve freshness in their wines. The 2015 is beautifully fragrant, almost exotic in character. Plump red fruit and sweet summer herbs fill the mouth but rather than being heavy, this is poised and transparent. Ample powdery tannins are fine and lead to a tangy marine finish." Decanter

Vielschichtige, intensiv-würzige Aromen, dunkle Waldbeeren, Noten von Tabak und Leder im klaren Bouquet, komplex und gut ausbalanciert der Geschmack bis in den wohlig warmen Abgang. Eine Brunello Riserva so elegant und klassisch wie aus dem Lehrbuch. SUPERIORE.DE

"Warme Aromen von Schwarzbeeren und Flieder, auch feine balsamische Nuancen, Pfeffernoten; Textur mit geschliffenen Gerbstoffen, vifer Säure, fruchtig-würzig der Nachhall. Sollte man zu einem Rehrücken mit Rotkraut und Kastanien geniessen." Vinum

"Deep ruby with orange tinges. Deep and concentrated cherry nose. Lots of concentrated marasca cherry on the palate, but still very much contained. Supple finish with finely built, long-lasting tannins. Ready now, but can age too." Jancis Robinson

"If Montosoli is Montalcino's great cru of the north, then the area of Sesta between Castelnuovo dell'Abate and Sant’Angelo in Colle is its southern counterpart. This is where Lisini's vineyards are located. The Riserva is crafted from the finest bunches throughout their holdings, so the selection depends on vintage conditions. A true Riserva, this will take time to fully reveal its charms and has a long life ahead. The palate is compact yet beautifully fluid in texture, with an underlying freshness and tanginess of acidity. Red cherry, citrus blossom and fragrant incense flavours slowly come into focus while minerality drives the whole." Decanter

"Though lean in profile, this red features plenty of ripe strawberry, cherry, rose and sweet spice aromas and flavors. Shows tremendous energy, along with a well-integrated structure and a mouthwatering aftertaste." Wine Spectator

"The 2013 Brunello di Montalcino Riserva hails from a classic vintage and reveals a carefully measured and complex set of aromas that grows and changes with fluidity the longer the wine stays in the glass. At its core, you get black fruit and plum with some spice, tar and licorice that comes thanks to the extra years this wine has aged in bottle. The intensity of the primary fruit has dimmed, but the wine is very much in play because it so accurately portrays Sangiovese during its long aging process. With this wine, you catch a pretty moment in time." Robert Parker

Ugolaia stammt von alten Reben aus gleichnamiger Einzellage. Hohe aromatische Komplexität und vielschichtige Nuancen im Bouquet, am Gaumen mittelgewichtig mit bemerkenserter Tiefe und klarer Frucht. Rote Kirschen, süßer Tabak, Wildkräuter, Blumen und Zedernholz. Herrlich lang im Nachhall mit der Aussicht auf eine weiterhin schöne Entwicklung. SUPERIORE.DE

"Frische Hagebutten, auch Noten von Kräutern und Pfeffer dominieren das Bouquet; der Antritt saftig und kernig, die Tannine robust, in perfekter Harmonie mit der knackigen Säure, vereint Charakter mit Schliff und Samt." Vinum

"Deep ruby. Captivating, deep nose of cherry fruit with a layer of minerals and hints of oatmeal. Generous, yet youthful palate and gorgeously balanced by bags of polished tannins and ripe acidity. Embryonic and already spectacular." Jancis Robinson

"A sleek, elegant style, this displays cherry, currant, iron and tobacco aromas and flavors. Firm and taut, with a long, detailed finish." Wine Spectator

"Vivid, full red. Cool notes of watercress and spearmint complement fresh red cherry and crunchy chocolate-covered redcurrants. Rich, discreetly sweet and very suave, but with juicy brightness highlighting excellent cut and clarity of its red fruit and floral flavors. The finish refreshes in its lingering violet perfume. A lovely Brunello that is surprisingly ready to drink for a Riserva." Vinous

"The Lisini 2013 Brunello di Montalcino Ugolaia is a special wine that has been off my radar for a number of years. I'm happy to see it again. Ugolaia represents a special selection of fruit, and the results portray a thick and intense expression with more extraction compared to the other wines I tasted from this estate this year. Dark plum, dried fruit, tobacco, potting soil and dark licorice rise slowly from the glass. The tannins are softly integrated within the thick fruit fiber of the mouthfeel." Robert Parker

"Ugolaia is a 1.7ha southwest-facing plot that looks out toward the sea, where temperature swings between day and night are significant. Here, the estate's oldest vines grow on red irony soil. This wine is not produced every vintage, but it clearly made sense in 2013 when neither Lisini's Riserva nor the regular Brunello suffered, and the Ugolaia demonstrated why it's a special site. It's still very backward but all is in place in this deftly sculpted Brunello. Nuances of wild cherry, lavender, moist soil and balsamic herbs emerge little by little. The tannins are assertive but fully ripe and sophisticated, demonstrating the wine's breed. This is concentrated yet vibrant, with appetising saline and iron notes resonating on the long finish."
