Fattoria dei Barbi

Fattoria dei Barbi was built on the land that the family has owned since 1352. Located within Montalcino the Colombini family acquired Fattoria dei Barbi in 1892 and began to produce Brunello that same year. Robert Parker raves that Fattoria dei Barbi “starts with a tightly wound personality that begins to unravel slowly, one delicate layer at a time. As it does, you become aware of dried fruit, cigar box, crushed mineral, plum, tar and cola. The wine puts on a beautiful display. I also loved the mouthfeel of this beautiful wine: It is tonic, tight and brimming with energy. Well-integrated oak notes give the wine a spot of softness and velvety spice. This is one beautiful Sangiovese.” The producer releases three regular cuvees: a blue-label Brunello that expresses the classic Sangiovese characteristics of the region, a single vineyard bottling called Vigna del Fiore, and their re-label Brunello Riserva.
