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.

Wines from Fattoria dei Barbi Winery

Brusco

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%
