Two bicchieri (also in 2017), 4 viti AIS and 90 Robert Parker points (also in 2017): several recognized distinctions, without reaching the very highest level.
At €58.72 instead of €70.54, this award-winning 2018 Brunello falls within the usual price range for its tier, with a genuine discount displayed on the bottle.
Precise pairings (red meats, game, aged cheeses), detailed aromatic profile and serving at 16-18 °C: enough to serve it easily, even though it remains a structured wine.

Comment on noteThe wine
Imagine yourself, in the heart of Tuscany, where time seems suspended. This Brunello di Montalcino from the Baricci estate, 2018 vintage, is an invitation to this sensory journey, an immersion in the authenticity of an exceptional terroir. It embodies the tradition and passion of a house that has captured the essence of Sangiovese Grosso.
It is in Montalcino, on these blessed lands of Tuscany, that the Baricci estate cultivates its Sangiovese Grosso. This unique grape variety, pillar of Brunello, finds here its noblest expression. The estate, with its history rooted in local viticulture, is committed to respectful winemaking, where fermentation in steel tanks and a long maceration reveal the depth of the grape.
From the very first glance, this wine seduces you with its intense ruby red color, punctuated with garnet reflections, a promise of beautiful maturity. On the nose, a complex and harmonious bouquet unfolds: I perceive notes of ripe red fruits, cherry and raspberry, enriched by touches of sweet spices, tobacco and leather. On the palate, the Brunello from Baricci offers remarkable fullness and depth. The tannins, silky and elegant, balance with a pleasant freshness and a persistent sapidity, making each sip enveloping. The prolonged aging in oak barrels refines its aromas and confirms its exceptional aging potential.
This Brunello di Montalcino is a partner of choice for privileged moments. I highly recommend it with grilled or sauced red meats, a flavorful game, or aged cheeses that will know how to converse with its structure. It is also a wine for meditation, to be savored alone, to prolong the pleasure and the escape. Let yourself be carried away by this oenological work, a true expression of the Montalcino terroir and the passion of the Baricci estate.
