Retained as supporting identification copy; the structured facts and evidence links above are kept separate.

The wine is produced as the finest expression of the land due to the detail-oriented endeavours in the vineyards, aimed at keeping the soil vibrant, healthy and teeming with microbial activity. Fermentation takes place in steel vats using solely native yeast to preserve the aromas and flavors of the grapes. The wines of Podere Brizio are refined according to local tradition, in 54 hl untoasted French Allier oak barrels. During the ageing process, the wine reaches the pinnacle of its maturity, developing complexity and maintaining fruitiness. Black cherry, blackberry, plum, violet and mineral flavors are the hallmarks of this pure, dense and robust red, which is squarely in the fruity camp, yet bumps up against pointed tannins on the finish. The lasting impression is both fruit and tannins, so this should work itself out in a few years. Best from 2027 through 2043. The organic Podere Brizio 2019 Brunello di Montalcino (in a heavy glass bottle) shows pretty aromas of crushed stone, dried raspberry, redcurrant, cherry cola and blue flower. The elegance and finer qualities of this wine are what stand out most, and you get pretty definition and sharpness along the way. The finish is lean, tonic, lifted and bright. Some 38,000 bottles were made. Great job.Rating: 94+ Crunchy and blooming red wine, displaying vibrant black cherries, redcurrants and violets, together with fascinating, savory spice notes of cloves and licorice. Medium-bodied and round on the palate with mouthwatering acidity. Chewy yet fine-grained tannins. Lively and flavorful. From organically grown grapes. This will develop nicely with age. Hold until 2027.
