Medium red. Delicate sour red cherry and redcurrant aromas show oaky, earthy nuances. Then light and easygoing, with red berry, licorice and woodsy flavors. Uncomplicated and moderately long, this vintage-accurate example of Brunello should probably be drunk up young. (7/ 2010)
The Baricci vineyard sits on the southeastern slope of the famed Montosoli vineyard site, one of (if not the most) famous in Montalcino. I love the complex earthiness, which has a sort of cherry tobacco-plum mixture that graces the elegant and lithe body. This wine favors grace over power and needs a curious mind to delve into the layers of spice, earth and fruit. It is a wine without a need to speak loudly and leaves itself to be discovered rather than shouting out its own name. Those who like Baricci, love this complexity and find reward in the effort to understand it. (Greg St. Clair, K&L Italian wine buyer)
