Lisini Rosso di Montalcino 2021

$3199

From Sant'Angelo in Colle in southwest Montalcino, Lisini crafts their 2021 Rosso from 100% Sangiovese on high-elevation, southwest-facing slopes. Fermented in glass-lined cement and aged 12 months in large Slavonian oak—the same extended maceration as their Brunello—this wine opens with herbal aromatics that blow off to reveal woodland berries, crushed rocks, and sweet smoke. Remarkably fresh and energetic with zesty acidity and serious structure.

Antonio Galloni

"The 2021 Rosso di Montalcino opens with an herbal note that quickly fades to reveal a mix of wild berries, crushed rock and sweet smoke. It is remarkably fresh and energetic, with an abundance of ripe, mineral red fruit and spice driven by zesty acidity. The finish is spotty and long, leaving a bitter aftertaste that is refreshed by a hint of residual acidity." —Vinous

More about Lisini

This old-school property sits at the southwest corner of the Montalcino zone, at about 350 meters above sea, and the vineyards face south towards Maremma and the coast. This situation provides warm, dry breezes that allow them to farm their vines and olive trees with both organic and sustainable practices. The 20 hectares of vines are entirely Sangiovese and made up of massale selections of the original plantings from 1930.

All fermentations are done in glass-lined cement tanks and aging is exclusively in large, Slavonian oak casks. Current winemaker Filippo Paoletti learned his craft from the former winemaker Franco Bernabei (of Fontodi and Felsina) as well as the Sangiovese master Giulio Gambelli (Soldera, Biondi Santi and of course Montevertine) and his style reflects their influence. The focus is on the elegance and transparency of Tuscany’s native variety; silky red fruits, earth and minerals always shine through.
