What sets the 2008 Brunello di Montalcino Riserva apart is its inner sense of freshness that translates to both the nose and the palate. There’s a lively quality to the dark fruit and plum that results in a greater sense of harmony. The same could be said for how the wine feels in the mouth. Bright cherry, grilled rosemary sprig and earthy tones shade in the back. Drink: 2017-2025. Podere Canneta offers a good selection of value wines from a high-altitude vineyard not far from the western city walls of Montalcino. Importer: Orvino Imports & Dist., www.orvinowine.com
