Brilliant and intense ruby red. Aromas of spice, hints of pink pepper, wild herbs, plum, blueberry and rhubarb. The palate is soft and balanced with delicate tannins and vibrant acidity, long persistency. Large and well structured. The sip is long, juicy and savory. Very persistent.

About Fattoria dei Barbi

Fattoria dei Barbi is among a prestigious group of estates that has played an integral part in writing the history of Italian wine. In fact, the estate is one of only five in Montalcino that have continuously operated for over 100 years. The Colombini family, one of region’s most influential families, founded the estate in 1790. The family has owned land in Montalcino since 1352, first building the “Poggio alle Mura” estate (now Castello Banfi), then “Argiano”, and finally they began assembling “Fattoria dei Barbi” in 1790, where they have produced wine ever since. The estate is currently owned and managed by the 20th generation heir, Stefano Cinelli Colombini, who carries on constantly seeking innovation through research and the application of new techniques.
