2019 Brunello di Montalcino, Lisini, Tuscany, Italy

Description

This sees a long fermentation and maceration in cement before 42 months in large, old Slavonian oak botti. There will be no Ugolaia in 2019, so all of the prized fruit destined for Lisini’s top cru finds itself in the Brunello. This decision will be music to the ears of Lisini fans, and makes this an unquestionably essential cellar addition.?Flavours centred around dark berry fruit and black cherry, with fresh thyme. Liquorice notes add a beautiful lift, alongside deeper tones of cacao and spice. Alongside this, there are fine-grained, melded tannins and a bold structure. There is a unique intensity to the 2019. Carlo says that, if kept correctly, this will live forever. Longevity can be found aplenty; its real glory days will come to pass in 10 or so years.

Critics reviews

Michaela Morris 96/100
Below the town of Sant'Angelo in Colle, Lisini sprawls over 120 hectares, 24 of which are planted to vines. The 2019 embodies this warm, munificent, exotically scented southern stretch of Montalcino. Ripe arbutus berry and red rose meld marvellously with chestnut, iron and sunbaked earth. Sumptuously textured, it is generous in body and flavour, exuding fleshy persimmon and ripe strawberry. The palate drips with luscious acidity and a mineral drive lifts the core. Sandy tannins are relatively supple without sacrificing their commanding hold, and it finishes with crushed allspice.Drink 2026 - 2038Michaela Morris, Decanter (November 2023)

Deep ruby with orange tinges. Very deep and still slumbering, with minerally and exotic dark-spice notes. With aeration more and more complex. Supple, suave cherry fruit tightly packed with fine, chewy tannins. Very long and focused, and with great potential.Drink 2026 - 2038Walter Speller, JancisRobinson.com (October 2023)

Monica Larner 93/100
The Lisini 2019 Brunello di Montalcino has a dark and spicy bouquet with prune, cardamom, asphalt and wet stone. The wine is quite developed, and for that reason, I wouldn't suggest a very long drinking window. There is cola and dried rosemary sprig at the back. This is a dark Brunello with concentrated fruit to drink in the medium term. Production is 40,000 bottles.Drink 2024 - 2037monica_larner, Wine Advocate (December 2023)

Eric Guido 94/100
Medicinal blackberries, sweet sage, stone dust and candied oranges define the 2019 Brunello di Montalcino. This is juicy and vibrant with violet and lavender-tinged wild berry fruits and chalky mineral tones that form a saturation of minerality toward the close. A web of fine-grained tannins resonates as the 2019 finishes long and staining yet feels only lightly structured. Salted licorice suggestions linger on. This is a classy southern Montalcino Brunello from Lisini. Drink 2025 - 2033eric_guido, Vinous.com (November 2023)

The Lisini 2019 Brunello is compelling, starting with its captivating aromas of fragrant blue flower, hay, perfumed berry, dark exotic spice, new leather and aromatic herb. It’s also delicious, delivering a great depth of flavors including juicy Morello cherry, raspberry croissant, licorice and crushed mint before a blood orange close. A backbone of velvety tannins provides seamless support while fresh acidity keeps it vibrant and balanced. What a gorgeous wine and the best Brunello I’ve had so far from this historic estate.Drink 2028 - 2039Kerin O'Keefe, KerinOKeefe.com (November 2023)

About this wine

Brunello di Montalcino

Brunello di Montalcino

Along with Chianti, Brunello di Montalcino is Tuscany's most famous DOCG and its boldest expression of the Sangiovese grape. Located 30 miles south of Siena, its 2,000 hectares of vines are hemmed in by the Orcia, Asso and Ombrone valleys. Brunello is the local name for the Sangiovese Grosso clone from which Brunello di Montalcino should be made in its entirety. The wine cannot be released for sale until five years after the harvest.
