The 2010 'Ugolaia' is another dazzling effort from Lisini in this vintage. While this traditional style Brunello demonstrates the same elegance as the classic Brunello and Riserva is displays a bit more overall depth. As it opens, it begins to deliver striking aromas of dark cherries and red fruits which are seamlessly woven together with dried floral, spices and leather. On the palate this is beautifully balanced and refined with a wonderful silky quality. It continues to impress with remarkable poise as it heads into the long elegant finish. Ultimately, this is an age worthy wine and will require a few years of additional bottle age before it will hit its full stride, that being said, I expect this to have an extremely long future ahead.
