Lisini Rosso di Montalcino 2021

From Sant'Angelo in Colle in southwest Montalcino, Lisini crafts their 2021 Rosso from 100% Sangiovese on high-elevation, southwest-facing slopes. Fermented in glass-lined cement and aged 12 months in large Slavonian oak—the same extended maceration as their Brunello—this wine opens with herbal aromatics that blow off to reveal woodland berries, crushed rocks, and sweet smoke. Remarkably fresh and energetic with zesty acidity and serious structure.
