Lisini Brunello di Montalcino DOCG 2006

The Lisini estate covers an area of 154 hectares, located south of the town of Montalcino, 8 km from the town and 1 km from S.Angelo. The nearly 24 hectares of vineyards have an outstanding geographic location and are related to an exceptionally high-quality soil, which has led to the production of premium grapes and the best Brunello di Montalcino wines. The estate faces the Maremma sea breeze, and the open vineyards have a special microclimate that is distinctly different from other areas of Montalcino, including less rainfall and no fog. The vineyards have an average altitude of 350 meters, which is ideal for growing Sangiovese, the only grape variety cultivated at the estate. Lisini initially gained fame for producing high-quality extra virgin olive oil, as the grapes and olives are grown in the same terroir.

As early as the 16th century, the noble Lisini-Clementi family were engaged in the wine business in Montalcino, with around 150 hectares of their own land surrounding the farmhouse. This family had an important role in the medical and military fields. In the early 1700s, Captain Silvio Clementi lived in the Palazzo Pecci in Montalcino and acquired several properties nearby, allowing the lineage to continue until the death of the last great-grandson in 1983. Few family wineries can boast such a long-lasting ownership like Lisini.

In 1846, the Clementi and Lisini families were united through the marriage of Francesca Clementi and Lodovico Lisini, leading to the distribution of the Lisini family's property in the Chianti region of Radda to the Clementi family's estate in S.Angelo. Lodovico and Caterina Ciampolini had four children: Maria, Elina, Alessandro, and Giovangualberto. After Lodovico's death in 1950, the winery was handed down to his enterprising daughter Elina, who managed it from 1962 until her passing in 2009. Her dedication and unique passion were key to Lisini's success. In 1967, Elina co-founded the Consorzio del Brunello di Montalcino with 24 other wineries, becoming the organization's host, a significant bet in an era when the unprofitable wine industry was often abandoned in favor of industrialization. Currently, her nephews Carlo, Lorenzo, and Ludovica are the estate's successors, carrying on the ancient traditions.

Tasting notes:
WE92 Wine Enthusiast
Thanks to the impressive complexity here, you can easily attribute a long list of adjective to describe the nose of this elegant Brunello. Cherry, cassis, church incense, lavender and dried violets all come to mind. Tight tannins and a touch of astringency will soften with more time in the bottle.

利西尼莊園占地154公頃,位於蒙塔爾西諾鎮南側,距離市區8公里,距離聖安吉洛鎮1公里。近24公頃的葡萄園地理位置出色,擁有非常優質的土壤,產出高品質的葡萄並釀造出最佳的布魯塞羅-迪-蒙塔爾西諾葡萄酒。莊園面向瑪雷瑪沿岸的海風,開放式葡萄園擁有與蒙塔爾西諾其他地區明顯不同的特殊微氣候,包括降雨較少且無霧。葡萄園平均海拔350米,非常適合種植唯一的葡萄品種桑嬌維塞。利西尼最初以生產優質特級初榨橄欖油而聞名,因為葡萄和橄欖是在同一片地理環境中種植的。

早在16世紀,高貴的利西尼-克萊門蒂家族就已經在蒙塔爾西諾從事葡萄酒業務,擁有約150公頃的自有土地圍繞著農舍。這個家族在醫療和軍事領域都扮演著重要角色。18世紀初,克萊門蒂上尉席爾維奧居住在蒙塔爾西諾的佩奇宮,並收購了附近的多處產業,使這個家族一直延續至1983年最後一位孫子的去世。很少有家庭酒莊能夠像利西尼一樣擁有如此長久的所有權歷史。

1846年,克萊門蒂和利西尼兩個家族通過法蘭西斯卡·克萊門蒂和洛多維科·利西尼的婚姻得以結合,導致利西尼家族在基安蒂地區拉達的財產分配給了克萊門蒂家族在聖安吉洛的莊園。洛多維科和卡特里娜·恰波利尼育有四個孩子:瑪利亞、埃利娜、亞歷山大和喬瓦努瓜爾貝爾托。洛多維科於1950年去世後,酒莊由其進取的女兒埃利娜接管,她從1962年一直經營到2009年去世。她的奉獻精神和獨特的熱情是利西尼成功的關鍵。1967年,埃利娜與其他24家酒莊共同創立了布魯塞羅-迪-蒙塔爾西諾協會,成為該組織的東道主,這在當時葡萄酒行業經常因利潤低而轉向工業化的時期是一個重大賭注。目前,她的侄子卡洛、洛倫佐和路多維卡是莊園的繼承人,在延續古老傳統。

品鑒筆記:
《葡萄酒愛好者》雜誌評分92分
憑借這裡的令人印象深刻的複雜性,你可以很容易地列出一長串形容這款優雅布魯塞羅的形容詞。櫻桃、黑加侖子、教堂乳香、薰衣草和乾燥紫羅蘭等都會浮現在心中。緊實的單寧和微微的澀感將隨時間在瓶中平滑下來。
