The Lisini estate, now covering a total of 380 acres and comprising some of the finest, most historical terrains in the Montalcino appellation, has been in the Lisini family since the early 1700s. Today, owner Elina Lisini is flanked by her grandsons Lorenzo and Carlo. Winery manager is Filippo Paoletti, and the winemaker is a living legend of Tuscan wines, Giulio Gambelli.
The present vineyard surface is 44.5 acres (18 ha.), all steeped in the area’s most beautiful and wildest landscape: gently rolling woodland and vineyards, wild boars and deer, high up at 980 to 1,310 feet above sea level. Getting there isn’t easy for city people: winding dirt roads bordered by thick vegetation, a sense of time suspended, surroundings meant for the comfort of pheasants and hedgehogs and grapes rather than modern-day motorists. Your reward at the end of the road is this stone and terracotta icon of tranquility and harmony, the Lisini villa with its 14th-century tower – seamlessly blending into the estate’s natural backdrop.
