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

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

"Great cherry fruit concentration, layered with notes of smoke and peach peel. A charming Rosso with a lovely soft texture." Decanter

"The 2017 Rosso di Montalcino is rich, racy and exuberant. There is not a whole lot of subtlety here, as the ripeness of the vintage is very much front and center. Even so, the 2017 offers terrific freshness and plenty of body. It is a rare 2017 Rosso that will benefit from bottle age. A bit of aromatic complexity rounds things out. This is an absolutely joyous Rosso." Vinous

Helles Rubinrot. Vielschichtiges Aroma von roten Beeren, Kaffee und Kräutern. Dicht, mit gewisser Süße und Reichhaltigkeit, mit einer feinen salzigen Komponente im Spannungsfeld zu den Aromen roter Früchte. Die 2014er Ausgabe ist weniger von Raffinesse als von einem beschwingten Trinkfluss geprägt. Die Frucht ist immer präsent, im Finale überrascht eine animierende, pfeffrige Würze. SUPERIORE.DE

"Vielversprechendes Bouquet; linearer Verlauf mit engmaschigem Tannin, stimulierender Säure, im Nachhall warmduftige Aromen von Sandelholz, Zimt und reifen Waldfrüchten." Vinum

"Glänzendes Rubin-Granat. Eröffnet mit leicht rauchig-erdigen Noten, dann feine Himbeerfrucht, etwas Kardamom. Im Ansatz gute Dichte, entfaltet sich dann mit recht sperrigem Tannin, im Finale noch trocknend." Falstaff

"Concentrated ruby with orange tinges.  Ripe cherry nose that is gentle, but concentrated. Hints of herb liqueur. Quite open-knit palate that is concentrated and inviting. Succulent finish with fine tannins. Not a wine for long ageing but beautiful as it is." Jancis Robinson

"This has aromas of ripe darker cherries and plums with violets and cedar, leading to a supple core of bright cherries that arrive in juicy and quite bold style." James Suckling

"Rose, graphite, Mediterranean herb and underbrush aromas mingle with a whiff of wet wool. On the palate, taut tannins and racy acidity frame juicy Marasca cherry, orange zest, culinary spice and an earthy hint of game." Wine Enthusiast

"Located near Sant'Angelo in Colle, Lisini's 24ha of vines surround the winery at 300-400 metres above sea level. While they usually harvest during the third week of September, in 2014 picking started mid-October. Discreet yet well-defined aromas of sage, red cherry, blood orange peel and wet earth gradually unfold on the nose. The palate is just as captivating, offering brightness, purity and polish with ripe, fine-boned tannins and juicy acidity. This is all finesse. A standout for the vintage." Decanter

2013 ist auch für Lisini ein Spitzenjahr: intensives Rubin, sehr feines elegantes Bouquet nach Gewürznelken und viel dunkler Kirsche. Am Gaumen mit schöner Eleganz, kompakt, zieht, feinkörniges Tannin und saftig lang. SUPERIORE.DE

"Lisini was one of the founding members of the Brunello consorzio, bottling its first vintage the same year the denomination was created. Located in the warm southern reaches of Sant'Angelo in Colle, the estates wines are typically large in size as well as personality. This is pulled off with balance here, showing plenty of black cherry, iron, leather and warm sweet spice notes which expand through the wine. The imposing tannins could do with some time." Decanter

"Mid to deep ruby. Exotic spice and cherry nose with nutty (oak?) notes and, with aeration, a hint of leather. A little wild even. Lifted cherry with exotic spice hints on the palate. Racy and light yet precise with lots of chewy tannins. Burgundian, more than anything." Jancis Robinson

"Lisini's 2013 Brunello di Montalcino opens to a delightful appearance that sees shades of garnet and dark ruby blend into one. The bouquet is sprightly and buoyant, thanks to a pretty ensemble of wild berry, licorice and grilled herb aromas. Those are mixed with heavier background tones of spice and leather. There is also a noticeable floral note of wild rose and dried jasmine. This is a silky and smooth Brunello with a hint of fresh acidity on the close." Robert Parker

"Fruity aromas of wild red berry align with earthy notes of forest floor, new leather and fragrant purple flower. The smooth ripe palate offers juicy Morello cherry, star anise, orange zest and an earthy hint of game. It's savory and loaded with personality." Wine Enthusiast

"Exuding cherry, strawberry and floral flavors tinged with iron, earth and spice notes, this ripe red is elegant in profile, tightly wound and deftly balanced, ending with a kick of fruit, spice and mineral elements." Wine Spectator

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

Großer Einzellagen-Wein von alten Reben in feinster Riserva-Qualität aus dem sehr guten Jahrgang 2012. 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

"A bright and elegant yet taut and structured version, this red features buried cherry, plum, earth, iron and tobacco flavors. Dynamic despite the firm grip of tannins, this should come around in a few years. Licorice and ripe cherry notes mark the finish." Wine Spectator

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

"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."
