Reviewed October 2017Lovely floral Sangiovese nose. Ripe on the palate with great intensity and balance. Black fruit and a touch of almonds on the finish. Very young and vibrant. Great example of the vintage. (RB)

The 2015 Rosso di Montalcino is a fabulous wine to drink now and over the next handful of years. Sweet tobacco, mint, black cherry, plum, licorice and dried herbs are all given an extra kick of richness that gives the wine a wonderful sense of immediacy. This is such a joyous, exuberant Rosso. (AG)

Concentrated mid ruby. Reluctant nose with hints of dark earth and brooding fruit. Gorgeous rich cherry fruit that is not heavy. Beautiful balance and real chew on the finish. Quite a stunner. 18/20 Points (WS)

If there was one visit during our travels in Italy in 2016 where I stopped taking notes, it was at the Baricci Estate. They are not only one of my favorite Montalcino producers, but also their wines are among the finest examples of Sangiovese from this storied region. Their 2015 Rosso could almost be mistaken for a Brunello and it's a prime example of how great the 2015 vintage is to Montalcino. It's full, expressive and one of the best Rossos of 2015.

This spectacular rosso has the scale, power and structure of great young Brunello! It is hard to believe that this fabulously focused and full bodied sangiovese is priced so low. I love the earthy aromas that frame the core of high quality fruit here, as well as the bright acid that lifts the firm tannic structure. This has serious class, and will go the distance in the cellar, if you can keep your hands off of it- it just tastes too darn good right now to resist!
