  October 9, 2022 - Although my previous encounters with Baricci Rosso or Brunello have always been very good, it was never really on my go-to list when buying wines from Montalcino. And over the past few years I’ve actually developed a bit of a negative attitude towards wines from the North-Eastern vineyards of the Montalcino region. In particular the Montosoli vineyards used to be some of the best in in town. But I think that many of the producers in this area are struggeling with the increasing temperatures, the general tendency towards early drinkable wines or the tendency to high extraction/over oaked power houses… or all three of the above.
  Well, this wine from Barrici is a beacon of refinement, freshness and delicacy. Exactly how I like my wines from Montalcino!
  I will most certainly be trying other wines from this producer to explore and enjoy this style further.
  
  Light ruby color. Beautiful aromas of cherry, fresh berries, cedar and a hint of smokey bacon. Medium-full bodied with silky tannings, fresh acidity and fresh fruit. The finish is very long, fresh throughout and following through seamlessly.
  Perhaps still slightly young, although beautifully balanced, it might still gain some complexity. Drink now - 2029.

  Bright ruby red. Aroma is intense with hints of berries, fresh fruits and a hint of cherry. Harmonically dry, it has strength and freshness with an elegant aromatic finish.
  Pair this wine along with pasta dishes with meat sauce, soups, roasted red and white meat, stews and Tuscan salami.

  July 22, 2021 - Allspice, smoke and blood orange accent this red and black fruit-forward Rosso. This is on it's way towards a creamy texture, and it melts on the mid-palate like a fatty piece of salami. Ashy minerals and varietal tangy acids persist through the medium-length finish, which is detracted from by a note of light astringency, likely from youth. More tannin than both Le Chiuse and Il Poggione, but I wouldn't insist on waiting to pull the cork if you're excited to dig in.
