Due to reduced quantities in 2019 the Lisini family decided to sacrifice their Ugolaia bottling in order to augment the Riserva. It is a striking specimen of the balmy Sesta zone in Montalcino?s southeast. Scents of myrtle and pine infuse dark cherry and black raspberry. On the palate iron and chestnut weave through the luscious and exotic red fruit. Equally sumptuous tannins bestow a generous sandy-textured embrace. Polished and layered with mineral depths this already feels satisfying but the best is yet to come. Tasted by: Michaela Morris
Vinous: 95 Points
The 2019 Brunello di Montalcino Riserva tempts the imagination as a mix of geranium and rose petals complement citrus-laced blackberries and hints of violet pastille. This is lifted and finessed with vibrant acidity and masses of mineral-infused red and black fruit aromas offset by a tinge of orange zest toward the close. The finish reveals its tannic and poised structure yet it's blended with a primary concentration that adds tremendous balance as nuances of tobacco and licorice fade. Bury this deep in the cellar.

The Wine Independent: 94 Points
The 2019 Brunello di Montalcino Riserva has fresh saddle leather strawberry mint roses and orange pekoe tea on the nose. On the palate it's nicely balanced not overly complicated but very well made leaning toward a high-toned red fruit character than anything deeper or more intense nonetheless a very solidly made wine. It's enjoyable and accessible for drinking soon.
