The 2010 Brunello di Montalcino from Baricci is a striking example of Montosoli’s finesse elevated by one of the greatest vintages of the decade. Aromatically, it opens with crystalline notes of red cherry, wild strawberry, rose petal, dried herbs, and subtle hints of tobacco and crushed stone—an expression both pure and finely detailed. On the palate, the wine is taut, vibrant, and beautifully structured, with firm yet refined tannins framing layers of brisk red fruit, savory spice, earthy minerality, and a whisper of balsamic lift. Its balance of tension and grace is quintessential Baricci, and the long, linear finish speaks to the wine’s considerable aging potential. This is a superbly classical 2010 Brunello—radiant, precise, and deeply rooted in the character of Montosoli.

Baricci is one of Montalcino’s most cherished traditional estates, rooted firmly in the historic Montosoli hill—widely considered the “grand cru” of the appellation. Founded by Nello Baricci in 1955, the estate has always followed a philosophy of precision, restraint, and uncompromising respect for Sangiovese’s natural character. Montosoli’s unique combination of marl-rich soils, higher elevation, and constant breezes produces fruit of remarkable tension, purity, and aromatic lift, allowing Baricci to craft Brunello of clarity and classical structure. The winery remains proudly artisanal and family-run, with vineyard work and cellar decisions guided by continuity and tradition rather than modern flash. As a result, Baricci’s wines consistently stand among the most elegant, expressive, and terroir-driven interpretations of Montalcino.
