Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
The 1999 Brunello di Montalcino shows what the house can do when the sun shines. The classic garnet color is followed by the equally recognizable aromas of plums, tar, and leather, and the powerful, lengthy, mineral-laced flavors indicate that this is a wine built to age.

Wine & Spirits
The '99 vintage in Montalcino produced a lot of great wines, this one sharing the roundness and luscious fruit character that makes the young wines so appealing. The sustained, deep black cherry flavor balances lighter tones of cranberry and red pepper spice, ready for seared sirloin tips or any rare red meat.

Located a few miles south of Montalcino itself, at Sant'Angelo in Colle, the fourteenth-century towered villa is steeped in one of the appellation’s most beautiful and "wildest" landscapes, surrounded only by woodland and vineyards at an altitude of 1312 feet above sea level. Typically built in stone and terracotta tiles, the villa itself blends into this natural backdrop with a harmony that is all Tuscan. The Lisini estate, covering a total of 380 acres and comprising one of the finest, most historical crus in the Montalcino appellation, has been in the Lisini family since the early 1700s. Under the tutelage of Elina Lisini, this superb terroir has fulfilled its exceptional promise. Located in the hills a little south of Montalcino itself, overlooking the Orcia valley (an area conducive to full, potent Brunellos), it was one of the very first to produce and bottle this noble wine. The vineyards now cover almost 49 acres and include the high-rising, 3.7- acre cru of Ugolaia. Lisini's unique soil, together with state-of-the-art vinification, yield a model Montalcino range.
