Podere Brizio's 2011 Brunello di Montalcino is a charming expression that delivers intensity, purity and a good dose of power as well. The bouquet here is seamless and smooth in a way that is not common for Sangiovese. The Tuscan grape tends to show more thorny points and sudden peaks that you don't get here. Instead, the delivery is long and polished. That spectacular mouthfeel is ultimately what distinguishes this pretty wine.
