Tasting notes
The 2019 Rosso di Montalcino is spicy and intense, with a chalky air of crushed stone giving way to wild herbs and sour cherry. It’s round yet juicy in character, washing gobs of mineral-tinged red and black berries across the palate, as notes of licorice and inner violets collect toward the close. The 2019 keeps the energy high, remaining vividly fruity, with just a hint of fine tannins that frame the finish quite well. There is simply so much to like about this vintage of Lisini’s Rosso.

Informal and medium dark in appearance, the 2019 Rosso di Montalcino is redolent of cherry confit and plummy fruit. This was a moderate vintage in terms of heat, but the wine overdelivers on sweet flavors and shows powerful 14.5% alcohol that might lead you to believe that the summer season was much hotter than reality. Those richly saturated fruit tones and the wine's open-knit texture can stand up to hearty winter dishes. Production is a comfortable 10,000 bottles.
