This 2018 Brunello di Montalcino from Baricci Montosoli, made from 100% Sangiovese, presents a complex aromatic profile of ripe red and black cherries, plums, and dried cranberries, evolving into tertiary notes of dried herbs, tobacco, leather, and forest floor. Floral hints of violet and subtle oak spice like vanilla and cedar are also present. On the palate, it is full-bodied with a firm structure, characterized by robust yet fine-grained tannins and vibrant acidity. The flavors echo the nose, with a core of savory fruit, earthy undertones, and a distinctive minerality often associated with the Montosoli cru. The finish is long, persistent, and elegant, showcasing the wine’s depth and potential.
