Lisini
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.
