Heat and stone are etched into this 2017 Baricci Colombaio Montosoli Brunello di Montalcino, where ripe cherry and berry compote meet roasted herbs, smoke and a distinctly rocky, savoury edge. The palate is dense yet lifted, with chewy, grainy tannins and a cleansing, pleasantly bitter twist on the finish rather than any excess sweetness, giving a serious, authentic feel despite the generous alcohol. This is a characterful, warm-vintage Brunello that emphasizes earth, herb and texture as much as fruit purity.
