"This wine carries its weight and intensity very nicely. The 2013 Brunello di Montalcino Riserva Phenomena delivers classic characteristics of Sangiovese grown in this unique appellation located in southern Tuscany. Bold cherry and cassis are followed by spice, smoke and scorched earth. In the mouth, this Riserva offers density, power and momentum. Thanks to that bright acidity, the wine should evolve well. Some 3,800 bottles were produced. Giuseppe Maria Sesti says rainy weather in 2013 helped to undo much of the heat and drought damage seen in the scorching hot 2012 vintage. The 2013 season was characterized by heavy rainfall at irregular intervals throughout the spring season. The rain continued until early summer, triggering slowly paced but consistent fruit ripening."
