A fluid style, exhibiting cherry, strawberry, currant, orange peel and leafy underbrush flavors. This has a sleek frame fused to dense, chalky tannins, with a finish that echoes the red fruit and underbrush notes. Best from 2026 through 2043. 500 cases made, 200 cases imported.??–BS??Region: Italy / Brunello di Montalcino Select to Add

Here's a statement wine from Podere Brizio. The 2016 Brunello di Montalcino Riserva is certified organic (although some of that goodwill is surrendered to the heavy and environmentally unfriendly glass bottle used in the packaging). This expression from a classic vintage takes a little longer to open and come into view. With some patience, you get wild berry aromas with grilled herb and pressed flowers. The finish is lean, polished and smooth. However, this wine never fully blossoms in the glass, and the mouthfeel is shy or subdued, especially within the context of the growing season. Maybe more bottle aging will help bring out more intensity in this 6,000-bottle release.

Plenty of ripe black cherry, blackberry and plum flavors permeate the opulent texture in this red. Woodsy, wild herbs, mineral and black pepper notes add complexity, riding the long finish with fruit and savory elements. Best from 2025 through 2045. 1,000 cases made, 500 cases imported.??–BS??Region: Italy / Brunello di Montalcino Select to Add

Though fleshy, this is austere in flavor, revealing moderate cherry and strawberry fruit, underbrush and tobacco flavors. Stiff, assertive tannins apply a strong grip on the finish, yet the lasting impression is of ripe fruit. Best from 2022 through 2040. 1,000 cases made, 500 cases imported.??–BS??Region: Italy / Brunello di Montalcino Select to Add

Plenty of balsamic character marks this leather-, wild herb– and tobacco-tinged red. Firm and dry, buoyed by high acidity and a long, mouthwatering finish. In the rustic camp, but shows personality. Best from 2021 through 2032. Tasted twice, with consistent notes. 600 cases made.??–BS??Region: Italy / Brunello di Montalcino Select to Add
