Baricci - Brunello di Montalcino Colombaio di Montosoli 2018

Montosoli is an identity, an exclusive area, a cru that has always been recognized. Baricci owns 15 hectares of precious land north of Montalcino nestled perfectly between the town's hill and the Valdarbia plain. A cool and ventilated area, thanks to the Montalcino hill which protects from the sirocco to the south, a crossroads between the mistral, north and east winds.

Montosoli has been a wine land for at least 5 centuries. The relationship between this hill and Sangiovese has its roots a few hundred years before the success of Brunello in the world.

Color is ruby red with garnet shades. Perfume is ethereal and complex with evident notes of red berries.

"A succulent, vibrant and harmonious red hallmarked by enticing, multidimensional aromas and flavors of rose, strawberry, cherry, licorice, eucalyptus, iron and leather. Turns up the volume with ripe fruit midpalate, ending with a long, resonant aftertaste. Best from 2025 through 2042. 1,420 cases made, 300 cases imported." - 96 points, Wine Spectator

"The Baricci 2018 Brunello di Montalcino Montosoli delivers a classic expression of Sangiovese from one of the best areas of the Montalcino appellation. I always love wines from Baricci, and I am very pleased to encounter the freshness and bright fruit flavors in this vintage that I associate with this estate. There is punchy cherry fruit, blueberry and lots of white stone or crushed mineral. The approach is accessible, and the tannins are soft straight out of the gate. Some 17,200 bottles were made." - 94 points, Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
