2019 Rosso di Montalcino, Lisini, Tuscany, Italy

Description

From the same vineyards as the Brunello, this is fermented solely in cement, giving it more air and a softer sheen to the tannins. Twelve months in Slavonian oak preserves the succulent, bright nature of the vintage. Perfumed and delicate, the fruit is precise and clear. Lisini’s mineral backbone gives a salty lick to the finish.

Critics reviews

Aldo Fiordelli 89/100
Mostly from alluvial soil in the southern part of the appellation, Argiano's Rosso has plenty of freshness. Cold soaked prior to the fermentation for enhanced colour and aromatics, it is than spontaneously fermented in temperature-controlled stainless-steel tanks, with 10 days of maceration on the skins. The Sangiovese for this Rosso 'was specially selected for fruit and freshness,' explain Bernardino Sani, CEO and winemaker of the estate. The 2019 is restrained, showing elegant cherry fruit and firm tannins on a crunchy palate. It has good ripeness overall and the typical intensity of a toasty, smoky character. Drink 2021-2023 Aldo Fiordelli, Decanter (Mar 2021)

Lisini, Tuscany

The history of Lisini dates to the time of the Medicis. This is one of Montalcino’s oldest estates, and a founding member of the Corsorzio del Vino Brunello di Montalcino. Lisini is one of the few producers in Sant’Angelo in Colle, in the south-west of Montalcino. The proximity here to Maremma gives maritime breezes warding against summer heat, which is especially important in as hot and dry a year as 2017. Thick woodland, olive groves and wild scrubs surround the 25 hectares under vine – a rural haven of the region’s finest terroir. An ancient river system sculpted the area, and with it the complex soils in Lisini’s vineyards. Fossil laced sand, clay and iron-rich soils, paired with altitudes of 300-400 metres, all play a leading role in the unique personality of Lisini’s wines.
