Lisini Rosso di Montalcino 2022

$3599

Lisini is one of Montalcino's iconic names, a historic estate working some of the best-exposed land in the southern stretch of the zone. Their Rosso is often called the baby Brunello, and not in a marketing-speak way — it gets the same long maceration of up to a month as the Brunello and ages 12 months in large Slavonian botti, just on a shorter timeline. The 2022 is vividly fruit-forward, with crushed blackberry and cherry layered against autumnal spice, and it carries the producer's signature mix of mineral lift, fine tannin, and savory grip. Drink it now with dinner, or hold it a year or two and watch the seams loosen.

"The 2022 Rosso di Montalcino is impossible to ignore. It is vividly fruit-forward, with masses of crushed blackberry and cherry complemented by autumnal spice. This opens with a pretty inner sweetness and crisp acidity, casting mineral-laced wild berry fruits across the palate. While gently tannic, the 2022 remains fresh, ending with licorice notes and a spicy sensation." —Eric Guido

"Black olive and tree bark, chestnut and iron, fragrantly earthy and red-fruited – there's a pleasing hauteur to this Rosso which does not condescend to sweetness of fruit for its impact. It has the real stamp of Montalcino terroir. With its assertive tannins and crisp, lively acidity, it could benefit from another year in bottle before broaching, and will drink well for a decade. Lisini's Rosso undergoes the same long maceration of up to a month as the Brunello, and it ages for 12 months in large Slavonian casks."
