Dievole (based in Chianti Classico) owns Podere Brizio. The 2013 Brunello di Montalcino opens to a medium garnet appearance with dark ruby highlights. The nose is beautifully balanced and elegant, with delicate berry nuances that are successfully contrasted against spice, tar and licorice. It closes with a polished feel and lingering tones of dried mint and licorice. Overall, the wine is lightweight and streamlined, but it also delivers impressive elegance.

Plump and laced with cherry and currant flavors, this red delivers balance and energy. Floral, mineral and tobacco accents add depth, and this firms up nicely on the finish. Best from 2021 through 2036. 1,750 cases made.??–BS??Region: Italy / Brunello di Montalcino Select to Add
