The Brunello di Montalcino DOCG "Vigna del Fiore" produced by Fattoria dei Barbi is a wine that embodies the excellence and tradition of the Montalcino territory. This wine is made from Sangiovese grapes, carefully selected from the oldest vineyards of the estate, known for their excellent exposure and mineral-rich soil, which impart a unique structure and complexity to the wine.
The winemaking follows traditional methods with a long maceration of the skins and subsequent aging in oak barrels for at least two years, followed by additional refinement in the bottle. This process ensures a harmonious development of flavors and aromas, respecting the authentic character of the Sangiovese grape.
The Brunello di Montalcino "Vigna del Fiore" features an intense ruby-red color, which tends to garnet with aging. On the nose, it offers a complex and enveloping bouquet, with notes of ripe red fruits, spices, leather, and a slight hint of tobacco and chocolate. On the palate, the wine is robust, with a well-balanced tannic structure and a long aromatic persistence that invites sip after sip.
Perfect to be enjoyed with red meats, game, and aged cheeses, this Brunello di Montalcino represents an excellent choice for any special occasion, promising a tasting experience that will remain etched in the memory of enthusiasts. It is recommended to decant it a few hours before serving to enhance all its qualities.
