About the Producer:
The grand history
of the Lisini family dates back to the 16th century, when they
inherited a tract of land in Montalcino near Sant’Angelo
in Colle. Like those around them, the family cultivated the Brunello
clone and from the fruit made tiny quantities of wine that they
consumed themselves. Not until 1967 did Lisini first present its
Brunello on the market, but the quality was already quite promising
and the scale of production was kept very low, with just 12 of
their 154 ha planted to vines. The wine has consistently reveled
in public acclaim since, and in 1975 the estate was dubbed best
of the Brunello Consortium in a tasting at the enoteca Solci in
Milano. Eight years later the family brought in enologist Franco
Bernabei, who has since overseen the development and improvement
of Lisini’s wines. The resultant bottlings are big and angular
yet elegant, and the single-vineyard Ugolaia expresses the character
of the land through the best of old-style Brunello.
