Fattoria dei Barbi's Brunello di Montalcino has been produced for more than a century. 100% Sangiovese grapes, harvested, on average, in the second half of September from vineyards located in the area of Montalcino. The grapes are crushed and destemmed and subjected to a sudden drop in temperature in order to optimise polyphenol extraction. The wine undergoes alcoholic and malolactic fermentation before being placed in wooden barrels of varying sizes for a period of no less than 2 years. This is followed by 4 months of bottle ageing before being released on the market.

Fattoria dei Barbi's Brunello di Montalcino is a red wine with a ruby red hue that veers towards garnet tones. Its bouquet is marked by red fruity notes of cherry, raspberry, candied citrus fruit and a broad toasted texture, finished by a weave of aromatic herbs. In the mouth it reveals its elegant progression, refined by a soft body and velvety tannin. The lively freshness speaks of a long life yet to be fulfilled in all its complexity.
