Lisini San Biagio Sangiovese Toscana 2023

The Lisini-Clementi family has owned land in Montalcino since the 16th century and were founding members of the Brunello consortium in 1967. This isn’t some upstart producer trying to make a name – this is Montalcino royalty with a deep-rooted commitment to traditional winemaking techniques that has helped earn them critical acclaim from Parker’s Wine Advocate, Wine Spectator, Decanter, and Vinous for decades.

What makes San Biagio so special is Lisini’s approach: they craft this “baby Brunello” to express the immediate, fresh side of Sangiovese. Instead of oak aging, they use vitrified concrete tanks to preserve the pure, vibrant fruit character of the grape. The result is a wine that’s deliciously drinkable in its youth while showcasing the same terroir that makes their Brunello legendary.
