This wine is known for its structural elegance and aromatic depth that reflects the unique terroir of this famous Tuscan region.
"Vigna del Fiore" is a specific selection that comes from one of the best parcels of vineyard at Fattoria dei Barbi, optimally exposed and hand-picked to ensure the highest quality of Sangiovese grapes. After the harvest, the wine matures for at least two years in large oak barrels, followed by additional months in the bottle to refine its complexity and roundness.

Ideal to accompany rich and structured dishes, such as roasted meats, game, and aged cheeses, this wine is a true testament to the aging capacity and quality that Brunello di Montalcino can offer. It is recommended to decant it for several hours to further enhance its complexity.
