Fattoria dei Barbi Description
This is certainly one of the "realms" of brunello
and of agriculture understood in the Tuscan sense: it produces not just
wine, therefore, but also oil, salted meats, cheese, etc. The estate is
old and originated with the Colombini family, present in Montalcino ever
since 1352 and owners of the Barbi estate since 1790. The vineyards extend
over 86 heactares, about 20% of the total area, and have an easterly or
south-easterly exposure.
Tasting Notes: The Brusco's patented
method of vinification produces a full-bodied wine with fruity and spicy
aromas. Grapes are de-stemmed but not pressed, and pumped into stainless
steel tanks for a prolonged fermentation. The wine is kept on the lees
under a carbon dioxide blanket for three months to develop its unique
character. It is then pressed and aged for one year in the tank followed
by six months bottle conditioning before release. Sensory analysis: Intense perfume
with scents of mature red fruits as prune and cherry. The taste is dry,
warm, supple and harmoniously tannic. The aftertaste presents the same
notes of fruits of the bouquet and light notes of spices as black pepper. Grape varieties: Sangiovese 100% Food Pairings: It is the perfect with appetizers, full-flavoured main courses,
pasta with savoury sauces, roasted vegetables, cold meats and medium cheeses. Total production: 20.000 bottles each
year. Awards Won:

for a regular Brunello, thus the wine has a deeper concentration and a
wider complexity of aromas. Sensory analysis: Very intense ruby
red with shades of garnet. The bouquet is very complex with fruity and
spicy flavours with hints of blackberry, black-currant and tobacco. The
