A historic family of Montalcino, where they resides since the mid nineteenth century where it has consolidated its wine tradition during the following century, as evidenced by Eliana Lisini with the creation of Brunello Consortium, of which she was also president. The vineyards of the Lisini cellar arise in the most fortunate hills of Montalcino, although at different heights, beautifully positioned on the most famous cru: the Enclave di Sesta, allowing the winery to be able to count on a raw material of incredible quality. The Sangiovese grapes ripen best caressed by the sun, thanks to the wonderful southern exposure, this let the fruits be enriched with valuable hints, thanks to good temperature range between day and night and to the clay soil that allows the vines to keep their noble essence. Lisini vinified in the cellar with a classical style, trying to keep the charm and elegance that has made the name Lisini famous in the world. An attitude that Carlo Lisini commented like: "we act like purist of Sangiovese just because we can afford it." Their production is able to interpret the Sangiovese grape in all its nuances, creating unique and fascinating wines such as Brunello di Montalcino Ugolaia. A wine able to impress with innate elegance and simplicity, year after year, harvest after harvest.
