Lisini 1999 Ugolaia Sangiovese (Brunello di Montalcino)
- $122
Intoxicatingly smoky nose, like fine wood burning slowly on a cold night. The mouth is jam-packed with vanilla, chocolate and cream as well as black cherry and dark currants. Sweet and easy throughout, with a touch of coffee on the finish. Lovely, chewy stuff. Imported by Empson (USA) Ltd.

Lisini 2006 Sangiovese Grosso (Brunello di Montalcino)
- Cellar Selection
- $70
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.

Lisini 2004 Ugolaia Sangiovese Grosso (Brunello di Montalcino)
- $144
This Riserva Brunello delivers instant aromas of spice, toast and leather that are wrapped seductively around a core of black fruit and plum. Those spice nuances last long in the mouth and would pair with braised meat or beef stew. The tannins are tight, so drink after 2014.

Lisini 2004 Sangiovese Grosso (Brunello di Montalcino)
- $90
Lisini delivers an extremely satisfying Brunello that is richly redolent of black fruit, plum, cola, root beer, leather and pipe tobacco. It feels vibrant and fresh in the mouth with well- integrated acidity against firm tannins. Pair this pretty wine with grilled meats.

Lisini 2005 Sangiovese Grosso (Brunello di Montalcino)
- $81
From the S. Angelo in Colle subzone of Montalcino, this seriously fruit-driven expression relies on a solid bouquet of cherry, blackberry and cassis. Oak-driven layers of spice and toast appear with more clarity in the mouth and the finish is capped by long, silky tannins. Drink after 2013.

Lisini 2001 Sangiovese (Brunello di Montalcino)
- $60
Delicate mint and herb shadings back red berry fruit and vanilla-nutmeg spice. There’s a creamy almost blueberry muffin dough quality that lends character but is not heavy in the least. Dry firm tannins and a tight, clean close. Imported by Empson (USA) Ltd.
