Fattoria dei Barbi...
The family Colombini acquired Fattoria dei
Barbi in 1790, and from that year on, the members of this family
focused their attention on the viticulture and wine production.
In 1892 a Barbi's wine was awarded by the Minister of
Agriculture with a silver medal, for the excellence of ots wine
production . It was just the first one of a rich series of
national and international wine awards.
Today Fattoria dei Barbi is run by Stefano
Cinelli Colombini, descendant of the ancient family and thanks
to his deep interest for the new technologies, he has helped the
progress and the development of his winery.

This red wine is the
result of years of researches on the fermentation of Sangiovese
grapes done in the Sixties and Seventies by Giovanni Colombini. Its
system of vinification, which has been patented, gives a strong
bodied wine with fruity and spicy aromas. It is a wine to share with
friends in a relaxed atmosphere.
This Sangiovese has a brilliant and lively
ruby red colour. Its fresh bouquet reveals fragrances of crisp red berries,
especially raspberries, and subtle floral notes. On the palate this
wine shows a well integrated balance of smooth tannins and fresh
acidity; then it moves into a lovely, fruity finish.

This red wine produced
since 1892 has been awarded many times for its quality. The wine is
the “heart” of Fattoria dei Barbi's production and it is made with
100% Sangiovese grapes from our best vineyards in Montalcino.
A lively rich ruby hue
announces an equally appealing complexity in the bouquet, which has
the classic essences of red berries, complemented by delicate
nuances of oak and liquorice.
On the palate this wine
is warm and ample; showing a well integrated balance of tannins and
acidity, a great structure and a long, persistent finish.

Dry red wine, 100%
Sangiovese Grosso grapes. This Riserva of Brunello is made with a
special selection of grapes collected from Fattoria dei Barbi's best
vineyards in Montalcino.
The ageing in barrel and
in bottle is longer than the one for a regular Brunello, thus the
wine has a deeper concentration and a wider complexity of aromas.
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 taste is supple, warm, tannic and well structured with an
aftertaste of fruity and spicy aromas that enhances the great
persistence.
