Tasting notes
Lisini's Brunello di Montalcino Ugolaia is a standout from Tuscany, crafted entirely from Sangiovese grapes. Known for its powerful yet elegant profile, this particular vintage from 2003 reflects a warm year, resulting in a wine rich with fruit and substantial depth.
In Vol. 30, this wine makes its appearance when Shizuku, having just faced defeat, is handed a glass by his manager. It's a moment akin to receiving an unexpected birthday gift, a burst of surprise and delight encapsulated in every sip. This wine captures that exact sensation of awe and happiness.
When you pour it, the wine reveals a slightly orange-tinted brick hue, hinting at its maturity. The aroma is inviting, with layers of black cherry and dried plums, complemented by notes of tea and undergrowth. On the palate, the wine spreads with a lush fruit sweetness, balanced by a smooth acidity that keeps it refreshing. The tannins are velvety, offering a gentle yet satisfying mouthfeel.
The finish is lengthy, with a complexity that lingers on. Taking your time to savor it reveals even more layers of flavor. Serving it around 18°C will allow you to fully appreciate its charm.
