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).

100% Sangiovese. Bright garnet with a ruby core. Aromas of black cherry, violets, wet potting soil and leather. The palate features black cherry/raspberry flavors with additional notes of tobacco, pepper spice and baking spices. Long and earthy finish. Fine tannins and firm (but bright) acidity. Soft texture and well balanced. Quite good. — 4 days ago
