Podere Brizio’s 2008 Rosso di Montalcino is superb. In fact, it is one of the very finest Rossos of the vintage. Sweet, silky tannins frame a core of gently spiced dark red cherries, new leather and licorice. This is a gorgeous, finely-knit wine graced with exquisite class and elegance. Anticipated maturity: 2011-2016. A Marc de Grazia Selection, various American importers, including: de Grazia Imports; tel.
