Baricci, Rosso di Montalcino, 2023

"Baricci always makes one of the best Rossos in the denomination and the estate's 2023 doesn't disappoint. It opens with heady scents of violet, lavender, red berry and spice that on the savory palate transform into ripe juicy cherry, white pepper, star anise and orange zest. Bright acidity gives it racy tension while polished tannins offer seamless support. Drink through 2028." -Kerin O'Keefe
