The wine

Smeriglio Baracchi: The Authentic Soul of Cortona Sangiovese

Let me guide you toward a discovery that touched my palate and my heart. This Smeriglio, a Sangiovese DOC Cortona from the Baracchi estate, is a true gem, a sincere and unvarnished expression of this emblematic Tuscan grape variety.

Cortona, Land of Wine and History at Baracchi

Nestled in the heart of the Vineyards in DOC Cortona, the Baracchi estate belongs to this appellation that deserves to be better known. It is here, on these Tuscan lands, that Sangiovese draws its character. This wine is made from 100% of this noble grape variety, raised with a philosophy that favors authenticity and the expression of the terroir.

When I poured it, its luminous ruby color immediately caught my eye. On the nose, you will be charmed by its delicate notes of cherry and small red fruits, enhanced by subtle floral cedar and a discreet spicy touch. On the palate, it confirms a beautiful acidity, typical of Sangiovese, polished tannins, and an elegant structure that invites tasting. Its finish is straightforward, with a pleasant persistence, without any heaviness. The vinification, with 25 days of maceration and fermentation in steel, followed by 12 months of aging in barrel and 3 months in bottle, shapes this harmony.

Smeriglio at Your Tuscan Table

This Smeriglio from Baracchi is an ideal companion for many moments. Imagine it alongside your favorite dishes: pasta al ragù, grilled red meats, or even a selection of Tuscan salumi. Its freshness and aromatic profile make it a versatile wine, capable of accompanying both everyday dishes and more special occasions.

I recommend serving it between 16 and 18°C. Brief aeration can even elevate its aromas, revealing all its complexity. This is a wine to be savored in its youth, but it will also surprise you in the medium term if you keep it away from light. If you are looking for a direct, honest Sangiovese perfectly suited to the table, then this Smeriglio from the Baracchi estate is a discovery you will not regret.
