The wine

Baricci Rosso di Montalcino 2021: The living soul of Sangiovese

I invite you to discover a wine that whispers the history of Montalcino, a young and vibrant expression of Sangiovese. It's a gem that reveals the freshness and elegance of this exceptional terroir.

The Heart of Montalcino: Terroir and Baricci Tradition

This Rosso di Montalcino DOCG is the work of the Baricci estate, a winery whose history is deeply rooted in the renowned hills of Montalcino. This unique territory, birthplace of Tuscan viticulture, gives Sangiovese incomparable characteristics. The Baricci estate, with its long tradition of excellence, instills in each bottle the passion and devotion that drive every stage of production, from the vine to bottling.

Made exclusively from the Sangiovese grape, this 2021 vintage benefited from fermentation in steel tanks, followed by maceration on the skins to extract all the aromatic richness. Its 12-month aging allowed it to refine its structure and harmonize its flavors. In your glass, it reveals itself with a brilliant ruby red color, a promise of dazzling freshness. On the nose, you will be charmed by intense and complex aromas of fresh red fruits, such as cherry and raspberry, enhanced by floral notes of violet and herbaceous nuances that give it depth and character. On the palate, this Rosso di Montalcino is balanced and elegant, with a soft and perfectly integrated tannic structure. The freshness of the fruit harmoniously blends with a pleasant acidity, making the wine lively and persistent.

Tuscan Pairings: Rosso di Montalcino at the Table

This wine is an ideal companion for the authentic flavors of Tuscany. You can imagine it alongside grilled red meats, fine cured meats, or aged cheeses. Its liveliness and persistence also make it an excellent choice for lighter dishes like panzanella or white meats. It is the perfect wine for an evening with friends, a convivial meal where simplicity and taste are celebrated, transporting you directly to the heart of Tuscany. Let yourself be seduced by the authenticity and refinement that Baricci has captured in this Rosso di Montalcino.
