Tasting Note
Baricci Brunello di Montalcino 2016 is elegant, structured, and beautifully expressive. Aromas of red cherry, dried strawberry, blood orange, and rose petal are layered with notes of sweet herbs, leather, and crushed stone. The palate is poised and refined, showing vibrant acidity, finely grained tannins, and pure red-fruit intensity. Savoury and mineral-driven, it finishes long and graceful—classic, high-toned Brunello with exceptional balance and clarity.
