Brunello Baricci 2004 comes from a very high selection of the best grapes. It was aged for 36 months in Slavonian oak barrels and in bottle for at least 4 months. The ruby red color tends to garnet red with ageing. Complex aromas with hints of violet and forest fruits with essences of plum and cherry combined with oak shavings, vanilla spice and blackberry. On the palate the wine is warm and velvety, shows a well-integrated balance of tannins and acidity. Rich structure and great elegance. Enjoy it with red roast meat, noble game and aged cheeses.

"Not overblown or exaggerated, this tight and carefully balanced Brunello strikes a chord between power and elegance. At its essence are aromas of red fruit, forst berry, cola, mesquite and cedar wood." Wine Enthusiast, 90 Points
