Baricci "MONTOSOLI" Rosso Di Montalcino
| Vintage: | 2020 |
|---|---|
| Description: | Baricci is a historical producer for the Montalcino region, founded in 1955 when Nello Baricci purchased the eastern part of the famous Montosoli hill north of the town. This is considered to be one of the top single vineyard sites ('grand cru') for Brunello, and all of Baricci's wines are sourced from it. Nello's grandsons, Frederico & Francesco carry on the tradition today. Montosoli's vineyards are planted at relatively high altitudes in a cooler & wetter part of Montalcino, and with its calcareous stony soils, tends to make more elegant, aromatic, and mineral-driven Brunellos. "Aromas of ripe dark-skinned fruit, forest floor and violet mingle with dark spice. On the full-bodied palate, firm tannins accompany dried cherry, star anise and a hint of tobacco. Drink through 2027." - Kerin O'keefe, Wine Enthusiast Magazine. "a vivid mix of wild strawberries, roses, hints of cinnamon and crushed rocks captivates as the 2020 Rosso di Montalcino comes to life in the glass. This is silky and refined, with depths of ripe cherryberry fruits laced with minerals and spice that creates a sweet and sour interplay. The medium-length finish resonates on red currants and inner floral perfumes, as well as a gentle tug of tannin. This doesn't impress on power or prestige, but instead on purity, refinement and sheer drinkability." - Antonio Galloni, Vinous Media |
