Lisini LISINI UGOLAIA Brunello di Montalcino 2016

Description

Brunello di Montalcino Ugolaia di Lisini is produced only in the best vintages from the oldest vineyard on the estate. Ugolaia Brunello di Montalcino 2016 is the expression of a unique vineyard that comes from the homonymous cru facing south-west. 100% Sangiovese from the massal selection of the estate. The vinification is traditional, in vitrified cement tanks with contact with the skins for 20-26 days. The wine is then transferred to 11-20 hectolitre barrels for 48 months, followed by 6 to 8 months in the bottle before release.

The Lisini-Clementi family has owned land in Montalcino since the 16th century. The first vines were planted in the 1930s, long before Brunello di Montalcino became the worldwide phenomenon it is today.

Today the estate amounts to about 150 hectares that surround the old farmhouse and the cellar, and the brothers Carlo and Lorenzo, together with their cousin Ludovica, continue the traditions of their ancestors. Not only the production of wine, which is based entirely on the noble Sangiovese grape, but also of olive oil. Their position, on the hills surrounding Sant’Angelo in Colle, in the southwest corner of Montalcino, is particularly favorable for the cultivation of Sangiovese. The 20 hectares of vineyards are located at an average altitude of 350 meters above sea level and open towards the south, towards the Tuscan Maremma, making them drier and more ventilated than other locations.

The Brunello di Montalcino Lisini are a monument to classicism and tradition. Fermentations take place in glass-lined concrete tanks and all wines age in large Slavonian oak barrels.
