The
Baracchi winery is ideally positioned on the Cortonese
hillside adjoining the Relais. Riccardo Baracchi
strongly desired to continue the family tradition
of growing grapes and producing wine since 1860,
giving it now a modern character and great quality
with
renowned wine maker Stefano Chioccioli.
Sangiovese
are the grapes that give life to this wine. All
operations in the vineyard are carried out by hand
with the
utmost attention so that each of the 6,500 vines
per hectare will produce only a few bunches of
grapes, each with the full expression of the plant.
A tribute
to the land of Cortona and to the joy of drinking
well.
Beautiful ruby red in color, with
elegant concentrated cherry,
chocolate
and vanilla on the nose.
Traditional in its complexity, roundness, and elegance, yet modern in its intense
fruitiness, accessibility and soft tannins.
