Palate Profile

Fattoria dei Barbi, owned by the Colombini family, proudly bears its family crest on its label. The name "Colombini" translates to "little dove." Since 1352, the Colombinis have held land in Montalcino, with their ownership of Fattoria dei Barbi dating back to the late 18th century. The extensive Barbi estate spans over 350 hectares across Montalcino, Scansano, and Chianti, where the family has been crafting wines since 1892.

The wine is a brilliant ruby red with a touch of garnet. Intense aromas of ripe cherry rounded by scents of citrus and spices, wild herbs, earthy hues. On the palate, the wine is soft and balanced with delicate tannins and vibrant acidity, long persistency.

This wine is a perfect match for roasted or grilled red meats, game, venison, stewed wild boar. Excellent with mature cheeses.

Critic Awards

Lightly dried fruit with citrus and cherry character. Medium body with fresh acidity and a linear and bright finish. Lively and delicious for the vintage. Drink now or hold.

This solidly built red is marked by bright black currant, black cherry, rosemary, iron and tar flavors. Shows strong grip on the finish from the burly and lightly astringent tannins, all the while remaining fresh. Best from 2025.

The wine carries extra fruit weight that is linked to the warm and dry conditions of the vintage, and that richer core is a sounding board for ripe and plummy fruit aromas. I can smell the oak barrels too, and although they don't impart obvious spice or toast, they add soft, earthy contours to this full-bodied Brunello.
