Medium ruby color with garnet highlights. Aromas of ripe red berry fruit , mint, bramble and dried violets. Bright red cherry fruit on the palate with additional notes of fresh herbs, black licorice, tobacco and iron. Beautiful earthy/mineral note on the long and lingering finish. Soft and well integrated tannins and exceptional balance. Wonderfully complex. Perfectly aged. — 2 days ago

What a great tasting wine. The body of this wine is not heavy but tastes like a full body wine. — 6 years ago

2015: Rich, generous CC Gran Selezione drinking very well now. I wouldn’t mistake it for the top Brunellos but good fruit and quality viscosity set it apart from the better Riservas. Touches of tar and leather give it a good dose of complexity. $45? At WL. — 2 years ago

Bright red. Sweet spice, ripe red cherry, licorice and flowers on the nose and in the mouth. Smooth and bright, and though not exactly the last word in concentration or complexity, this is downright irresistible in its juicy, fruity appeal. Podere Brizio recently changed ownership and now belongs to Dievole, the Chianti Classico producer (Podere Brizio’s previous owner, Roberto Bellini, is the man who sold the Chiesa di Santa Restituta estate to Gaja, who renamed it Pieve di Santa Restituta).
