Rosso di Montalcino 2019, Baricci – Another masterpiece in the making from the traditionalist masters at Baricci. Hailing from the brilliant 2019 vintage—another classic year for Montalcino—this is a Rosso with the structure and pedigree of a serious Brunello. It’s a vibrant, aromatic, and beautifully structured wine that offers a perfect glimpse into a great vintage.

What’s it Like?

This is a wine that is bursting with youthful energy and class. Imagine a heady, aristocratic perfume of crushed raspberries, wild cherry, dusty roses, and a hint of cedar spice box. On the palate, it’s silky and refined, but with a serious inner structure and tension. Vibrant acidity and fine-grained tannins frame the pure red fruit, leading to a long, graceful, and beautifully persistent finish. It’s built for the cellar, but is stunning now.

Perfect For

Drinking now with a good decant or cellaring for another decade, a perfect match for sophisticated Tuscan dishes like pici with a duck ragù, or experiencing the brilliance of a top vintage and producer without the Brunello price tag.

The Pros Agree…

The critics have unanimously identified this as a Rosso that punches far above its class. One called it “a force to be reckoned with, a Rosso that puts many Brunellos to shame,” celebrating its “heady display” of aromas and “silky and refined” texture. Another hailed it as “another beautiful home run,” praising its “primary fruit intensity” and “good inner structure and tension.”

What is it? An exceptional, structured, and ‚baby Brunello‘ red wine.
From? Montalcino (Tuscany), Italy.
Grapes? Sangiovese.
Tastes Like? Crushed raspberry, wild cherry, dusty rose, and cedar spice.

Baricci Winery: A Legacy of Excellence in Montalcino

Nestled on the esteemed Montosoli hill in Montalcino, Italy, Baricci Winery stands as a testament to tradition, passion, and the pursuit of excellence in winemaking. Founded by Nello Baricci in 1955, the estate has cultivated a reputation for producing some of the most distinguished Brunello and Rosso di Montalcino wines, deeply rooted in the unique terroir of Montosoli.

Historical Background

Nello Baricci, born in Montalcino in 1921, harbored a profound connection to his homeland. With limited savings, he acquired a parcel on the eastern slope of Montosoli hill in 1955, an area renowned since the Middle Ages for its exceptional Sangiovese cultivation. Recognizing the potential of this unique microclimate and soil composition, Nello dedicated himself to producing high-quality wines that truly reflected the essence of Montosoli.

In 1967, he became one of the 25 founding members of the Consorzio del Vino Brunello di Montalcino, an association committed to protecting and promoting the burgeoning reputation of Brunello wines. The estate’s inaugural Rosso di Montalcino was released in 1968, followed by the first Brunello di Montalcino in 1971. Today, Baricci holds the distinction of being the sole producer with all its vineyards exclusively on the Montosoli hill.

Vineyards and Terroir

The Baricci estate encompasses five hectares of vineyards situated on the northern slopes of Montalcino. This area is universally acknowledged for its superior terroir, ideal for cultivating Sangiovese grapes. The Montosoli hill, with its unique combination of soil composition and microclimate, imparts distinct characteristics to the wines, contributing to their elegance and complexity.

Winemaking Philosophy and Production

At Baricci, winemaking is a harmonious blend of tradition and meticulous attention to detail. The journey from vine to bottle is a testament to the family’s commitment to quality. The Sangiovese grapes traverse a short path from the vineyards to the winery, where they undergo a patient transformation into Rosso and Brunello di Montalcino. The process emphasizes minimal intervention, allowing the true character of the Montosoli terroir to shine through in every bottle.

Current Stewardship

The legacy of Nello Baricci continues under the stewardship of his grandsons, Federico and Francesco. They uphold the family’s time-honored traditions while infusing modern techniques to enhance the winery’s offerings. Their dedication ensures that Baricci remains synonymous with passion, professionalism, and an unwavering commitment to producing wines that embody the spirit of Montosoli.

Acclaimed Wines

Baricci’s portfolio includes the esteemed Brunello di Montalcino Montosoli DOCG and the Rosso di Montalcino Colombaio di Montosoli. The 2019 vintage of the Brunello di Montalcino Montosoli received a 96-point rating from Wine Advocate, highlighting its medium-rich concentration and excellent fruit condition, promising longevity and distinction.

Baricci Winery stands as a beacon of excellence in the Montalcino wine landscape. With a rich history, unparalleled terroir, and a steadfast commitment to quality, Baricci continues to craft wines that resonate with authenticity and elegance, honoring the legacy of its founder and the unique character of Montosoli.
