title: Podere Brizio 2011  Brunello di Montalcino
description: Poised and polished, this opens with aromas of mature plum, baking spice, menthol and a whiff of new leather. The ripe but restrained palate shows structure and elegance, offering mature black cherry, pomegranate, star anise, and chopped herb. Tightly wound, fine-grained tannins proved the framework.
variety: Sangiovese
