Podere Brizio is a historic, certified organic estate on the southwestern slopes of Montalcino, benefiting from warm Mediterranean sunshine balanced by cool sea breezes. Part of the Dievole group, the winery is managed with a deep commitment to sustainable viticulture and classic, unmanipulated winemaking. The estate's high-elevation vineyards, around 330 to 350 meters, are planted on ancient marl and clay soils rich in limestone, yielding Sangiovese of remarkable perfume, elegance, and structural drive.

The 2019 vintage is regarded as an all-time classic across Montalcino, offering structural perfection and vibrant freshness. Hand-harvested Sangiovese Grosso fruit was fermented with indigenous yeasts in stainless steel before extended aging for 38 months in large 54-hectoliter French oak casks (botti), followed by more than a year of bottle rest. The 2019 Podere Brizio showcases the traditional southwestern Montalcino profile: generous red fruit, earthy spice, and refined, chalky tannins that provide fantastic longevity.
