Nello Baricci's small parcel of land sits on a hill called Montosoli and is one of Montalcino's most prized and renowned vineyards. Nello is a man of the earth, his body shows the years of effort spent working his estate yet when you look in his eyes it is like gazing into a moonless night sky with thousands of stars shining towards you. There is something magical about this humble man. Mike P and I visited the estate, tasted through the different botte (wooden tanks). One after another, Brunello and Rosso, all left the same signature of Montosoli on our palates. It starts out as a mixture of black cherry, soft leather, plum, cinnamon and earth and weaves these flavors together changing textures as the wine airs.
