{"product_id":"2019-podere-brizio-brunello-di-montalcino","title":"2019 Podere Brizio, Brunello di Montalcino","description":"\u003cp\u003ePodere 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy You'll Love It\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSourced from a top-tier 2019 vintage celebrated for its balance, structure, and aging potential.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eClassically aged in large neutral oak casks to preserve pure varietal purity and sense of place.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBrimming with red cherries, dried cranberries, orange peel, leather, wild thyme, and crushed stone.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMedium-to-full-bodied with lively natural acidity and fine, dusty tannins that finish clean and savory.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow To Serve It\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eServe at cool room temperature between 60°F and 64°F.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWe recommend decanting for 1 to 1.5 hours to let the tight 2019 structure loosen.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePour into Burgundy stems to capture its high-toned dried floral and red-fruit aromatics.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePair with wild boar ragù, Florentine T-bone steak (bistecca alla fiorentina), or aged Pecorino Toscano.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"SommSelect","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47733755510838,"sku":"SOMM2609-PB19BDM-750","price":59.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0551\/3628\/8822\/files\/2019PodereBrizio_BrunellodiMontalcino.png?v=1789404466","url":"https:\/\/sommselect.com\/products\/2019-podere-brizio-brunello-di-montalcino","provider":"SommSelect","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
