Made up of 32 hectares, approximately 80 acres, Riccardo Baracchi’s vineyards are located in 4 distinct locations within the DOC Cortona, a terroir renowned for centuries for the guaranteed quality of the location of earthy soils, full light, high altitude, and a microclimate of warm and dry temperatures. Each individually planted varietal, were carefully choosen based on the match of soil-to-varietal so that each plants characteristics and features were brilliantly accentuated.
The Baracchi’s idea is to produce wines that reflect the expression of the territory, and continually express this in the wines with different techniques and varied seasons that the passing years offer. With the courage and innovation to create something unique, Riccardo Baracchi produced the first classic method sparkling wines made with native Tuscan grapes, Sangiovese and Trebbiano, along with the unusual blend of Syrah and Cabernet Sauvignon, the first Syrah Riserva of the DOC Cortona and the newest Sangiovesone wine. The Baracchi brand continually innovates, and surprises.
