About This Wine

Baricci is one of Montalcino's founding families. Nello Baricci, a sharecropper born in Montalcino in 1921, bought the Colombaio di Montosoli farm in 1955, and in 1967 he was one of the founders of the Brunello di Montalcino consortium. The family's first Brunello was the 1971.

All of Baricci's roughly 5 hectares of vines are on the Montosoli hill, one of Montalcino's most prized sites. The Brunello is 100% Sangiovese and ages in large Slavonian oak casks. Nello's grandsons Federico and Francesco run the estate today.

Serving

Decant and serve with roast and grilled meats, game or aged cheese.

About Sangiovese

Sangiovese offers bright sour-cherry fruit, leather, tomato leaf and earthy spice over a structured, acid-driven frame.
