When an artist founds a winery, the spirit of this artist wafts right into the last cellar room. The Brio label shows a detail from a fresco by Sandro Chia: chessboard, violin, clock. Existence, soul, time. An unusually serious statement for an entry-level wine. The wine behind it lives up to it. Sangiovese from the Scansano vineyards of Tenuta Ghiaccio Forte – young vines on volcanic soils, close to the sea, cool nights. A few months in wooden barrels, then bottle ageing.

The result is an uncomplicated but lively Tuscan: ruby red with a violet hue, a bouquet of roses, dark cherries and a hint of spice. Fresh and direct on the palate, with grip and good length. Brio means liveliness and that fits perfectly. SUPERIORE.DE

"The 2024 Toscana Rosso Brio is spunky in the glass, with a burst of savory herbs, white pepper and wild strawberries. The palate is wickedly fresh and lively, with violet-laced wild berry fruits and a pretty inner sweetness guided by juicy acidity. It tapers off with excellent length, crisp and pure with a tinge of licorice." Vinous

"Aimed at younger consumers and the catering trade, this wine pairs effortlessly with a variety of pasta and meat dishes and offers a good balance between price and quality. The wine displays sweet, polished fruit flavours of cherry and blackcurrant with a supple texture, alongside a sanguine, slightly saline note reflecting the thick skins and slower ageing conditions typical of Montalcino."
