Lisini: Brunello di Montalcino Ugolaia 2020

Parker über: Brunello di Montalcino Ugolaia

This special selection represents fruit from a single cru with old vines that sit on a sun-drenched plateau surrounded by forests. The Lisini 2020 Brunello di Montalcino Ugolaia shows dark cherry and blackcurrant with a point of brightness that I associate uniquely with the vintage. The vineyard is rich in iron-oxidized minerals, a soil signature that comes through clearly in the wine’s savory, mineral-driven undertone. You get the power and firmness expected of Brunello but in a slightly more slender and refined body, with spice and hints of white peppercorn and licorice appearing on the finish. Aged in traditional large oak casks, the wine is sourced from vines planted in 1984 over 1.3 hectares, resulting in a production of 8,000 bottles.
