Drank on Super Bowl Sunday with dinner. We had a bunch of apps and cocktails beforehand so only had a small glass with dinner but it was in a good place an paired well with stuffed shells and meatballs. Go Chiefs!

I had sampled this a couple of years ago via Coravin with no formal notes taken. Tonight my dear wife made an impromptu sausage and tortellini dinner in the pressure cooker and it just begged for an Italian wine. I Coravined a couple more glasses using my aeration technique of holding the stream 18-24” from the glass. It worked as the wine was smooth and open for business! Cherries and forest mushroom notes with enough acidity to cut through the sausage and sauce dinner. We then popped the cork to finish the bottle. Lisini has been a go-to Brunello for years and this was fantastic as usual.
