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.

 

Brunello di Montalcino Reserva 2000

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.
