The 2019 Baricci Brunello di Montalcino Montosoli is a beautifully sculpted, site-specific expression of Sangiovese, showcasing the grace and precision for which the Montosoli cru is famed. The 2019 vintage was exceptional in Montalcino, marked by a long, balanced growing season that yielded wines of clarity, depth, and structure. Fermented with native yeasts and aged for over 30 months in large Slavonian oak casks, the wine reveals an aromatic profile of red cherry, blood orange, dried rose, wild herbs, and subtle spice. On the palate, it is medium-bodied and vibrant, with firm, fine-grained tannins, bright acidity, and a long, mineral-driven finish. Baricci’s 2019 Montosoli is not about opulence—it’s about harmony, tension, and site expression. Drinkable now with decanting, but best from 2026 onward, with a graceful aging window extending 15–20 years. An ideal pairing with roast lamb, porcini risotto, or aged Tuscan pecorino. A true connoisseur’s Brunello.

Baricci is a revered name in Montalcino, known for its historic role and steadfast commitment to traditional winemaking. Founded in 1955 by Nello Baricci, the estate holds the distinction of being the very first to bottle Brunello from the now-legendary Montosoli hill—arguably Montalcino’s most prized cru. Today, the estate is run by the third generation of the Baricci family, who continue to farm just under 5 hectares exclusively on Montosoli’s limestone and marl-rich soils. These north-facing slopes offer a cooler microclimate, which contributes to the finesse, perfume, and aging potential that have come to define Baricci’s style. The estate farms organically, harvests by hand, and vinifies with native yeasts, extended maceration, and aging in traditional Slavonian oak casks. Baricci remains a reference point for classically styled, terroir-driven Brunello rooted in elegance rather than power.
